What size aquarium would discus or angelfish need?
I am thinking about getting a 20 gallon aquarium, but dont know what to put in it. I am more fond of the discus. The aquarium would have a 30 gallon filter and a 20 gallon filter on it.
Angelfish, at least 30gallons. Discus I would not go with less than 55gal for a group as they need very good water conditions. Harder to maintain in a small tank with large carniovorus fish.

I would recommend at least a 55 gallon tank because the angel fish get big and need lots of room to move around in,I have two of them in my tank and that is what size my tank is.
