|  Angelfish Attacks! In my 10 gallon tank I have one Angelfish (medium size) and one fancy guppy left, all the others died. I thought the one I have left wouldn't make it too much longer being the only one and being a community fish, surprisingly he's doing great. I noticed the other day my Angelfish biting at his tail. At the moment I have the guppy in a breeder net in the 10 gallon so the Angel can't get to him. My question is I have a half-gallon tank Marina Betta Kit - Aquariums - PetSmart If I put the guppy in this tank would he survive or does he need a filter, air pump, and heater? |

| Yes, he needs the heater and filter. I really think that a half gal is too small for even a guppy though.

| |Ummm....a 10G is too small for an Angel too which is probably why hes getting aggressive.

| I agree with everyone else. Angels can get 2-3 times their size tall. So a 12" 10gal, minus a few inches for substrate and water level, is not tall enough for a full grown adult angel. Your fish will become stunted and die an early death in a small tank like that.

| 10 gallon is to small for an angel. Most angels require a minimum 30 gallon tank. I am sure one can survive in a 10 gallon tank but in the long run a larger fish tank would be best.
