Like I asked earlier, would it be ok to put 2 angelfish in a 2.5 gallon tank? What i did not include was that they would be in the tank temporarily. Just until they begin to grow.

it might be okay for a little time(depending on how big they are now) make sure they at least have a filter , they grow pretty fast and will need a bigger tank soon.....an adult should be housed in 25- 30 gallons or more and i would suggest not putting 2 in a tank as they often fight for territory and stress each other out (unless ur sure of the genders and u plan on breeding) keep one or 3 or more.
Good luck!

That doesn't make a big difference. Angelfish can be fairly sensitive to water quality, and in a 2.5 gallon tank, the water can quickly change from crystal clear to a murky green. The fish will start to grow after about a week, so, unless you are practically just dipping the fish in the 2.5 gallon tank, I would start with a 30 gallon. Angels get about 6 inches long, require large, planted tanks, and clean water. Email me if you have any questions.

depends on how long "temporarily" is. If you want to grow small ones i'd move them to a 20 gal when they are 1-1\2 in.

still, the answer is no.
if you're going to get a bigger tank "eventually" why not just get it now, if you're really set on having 2 angel fish?
