Manacapuru

[greydragon]

hi every one i was just wondering do Manacapuru  get larger then regular angelfish and do they need a bigger tank? i have a two new angelfish coming that are  Manacapuru x Koi male and Manacapuru x Koi female. would a 20 gal tall tank be good for them or would a 29 gal be better?
thanks for the help Robert Wright

...In my experience with them, they do get thicker, round bodies...and some get pretty large...not wild Altum size, but like the very big scalare that you'll get, now and then......I use 29/30's for pairs....
