HHhmmmmmm, you can`t keep either fish in that small tank. if you want these fishes you need as large as a 125 gallon tank, and if you try with that small tank, keeping them, their health will fail and over $250 of fish was wasted.
The fellow asking about the netting an angel, you can secure the angel with the net but do not raise out the water for the angels gills will become tied up so to speak and damage the the angel can result in its dealth. When ever i need to remove a angel fish i use a large bowl so the angel is less mobility, and why a said about using plasic bags on the hands as gloves is a angel can hurt a person, you see if you ever bare hand a angel before, a small angelfish about 3 inches, you would feel a pinch on your palm the hand, that was from the angelfish`s side fins, it acts like a blade, thats the way angels fight and why they too have respect among other speices marine life. And to net these fishes without being careful you can damage this fish so badly that it`ll not be able to survive. And if you ask were any you buy these fishes and they don`t think so about what i`m saying then you go right ahead and buy a med to large angelfish and you go right ahead and take the chance about using a net with them , understand something here, it wont happen each time using a net but it can happen, so why take that risk for the angelfishes behalf.
