29 gal tank (if this makes any difference)
1 black angelfish
1 black veil angelfish
both about 1-1.5 inches in size... how long will it take for them to reach max size

It really depends on many factors, but if well kept and well fed, they can reach full adult size in about 18 months. Plenty of room, plenty of water changes and a solid but varied diet will be key.

At least a year. Avoid temptation to add more. 2 is about all a 29 can handle. I'd actually think about a 37 at some point, use the same hood and stand, 8 gallons more and 4" deeper. These fish will appreciate the 22" depth and with the extra 8 gallons, a 3rd would be possible.
Angels will do best in water that is soft and slightly acidic. They probably were not born in such conditions, but try to keep the pH down to 7.0 or less for best results.

I agree with some of the others, don't add any more angels. If you do, save the 29 for rams or keyhole cichlids, etc. You will get better results in a 55, but the 29 should be OK. Should be done growing in a year or so, but dirty water will stunt growth if it doesn't kill them first. You should see a full grown wild altum angel. Those fish grow to be huge.

Actually fish will grow based on their surroundings. The larger the tank and the less fish you have the bigger they'll get. If you have a small tank or a tank with lots of fish they won't grow very large.
My uncle had an angel fish that got as large as his open palm.

the more space the larger and quicker they will grow also feed them brine shrimp and other types of live food. angel fish are lovely fish and work well in a community tank but they can be agressive to some smaller fish. if you have a male and female nice one they shud hopefully breed

I agree with Misty...big tank and good food really helps. I had two black lace angels that were a mating pair, as big as my hand, and they laid eggs, and they hatched...I was thrilled. Do a search and see what you come up with.

IF YOUR TANK IS LIKE 50 GALLON AND YOU HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF IT REALLY DELICATELY I'LL GROW FAST SOON OR LATER IT GOT TO GROW
