I'm going to run on the assumption that you mean freshwater angelfish. One full grown angelfish requires 30 gallons, so unless you can afford to go buy a larger tank later, you should buy the correct size tank in the beginning. So, for 4 angelfish, I wouldn't go smaller than 75 gallons, and that's still on the small side. They grow very large and are territorial and semi-aggressive which means they need extra room so they don't attack and kill each other. Read up on cycling, water testing, water changes and cleaning, filtration, heat, etc. before buying the fish. Good luck!

Angels grow 6 inches long and 6-10 inches tall, plus they are territorial, so no less than 55 gallons for 4 angels. The minimum for 1 angel is 30 gallons. You can't put them in anything less than 30 gallons because they do grow large.

You might want to specify whether your looking for saltwater angel fish or freshwater angelfish(there are both) because that makes a big difference in the size and type of tank you need.

55 gallons in the least, cycled, heated, and soft water. The 1 inch per gallon rule is just a myth.

You would probably need 10 gallons maybe, I have had angel fish before and my tank is 10 gal.

55 gallons would be the bare minimum, with 75 being best. If you really want the best for them, please go with 75 gallons or more.

55 gal??? Good grief! She doesn't have sharks in there! LOL! 10 gal would be the smallest I would go. Of course 20 would be much better.

The rule of thumb is for every inch of fish you need one gallon of water. So, if your fish measures three inches from mouth to tip of tail fin, you need three gallons of water for it.
