What Large Angelfish Can I Keep in a 150g Tank?

[dustinwerk19]

I have a 150 Gallon Half Hex Tank, not much rock but enough for the fish to hide, no coral and a 40 gallon sump. What Large Angelfish would I be able to keep in my tank?

I always look at live aquaria...you can read up on the ones you like and they let you know what the minimum size tank should be...I usually use that to find my selections.

Large fish need swimming space. So consider that swimming length over gallons. If you plan on fish like a french angel the can become the size of a dinner plate and need lots of room. To be honest your 150 could end up being to small for any large adult angels.

Regal would be great

Any of the “large angels” in the pomacanthus species will out grow that size tank in a few years. Regals & Blue lines are mid size & slow growing angels. Late winter is when the small 1.5 -2 inch Regals start to become available. Poma Labs is the place to get small tank raised Bluelines.

What is the total length on the tank? A half-hex is probably going to be shorter length than a standard Rec tank that size

Regal is not in the Pomacanthus genus. 8" would be about maximum in our tanks. Unless the dimensions of the tank are really silly, 150 gallons is plenty.
