Is a 20 gallon tank enough for 11 angel fish?

Is 20 gallons big enough for 20 angels? they are about 2 inches each. One died already crashing into the rocks and getting picked on, I just wanted to know if a 20 gallon tank is enough room for 11 angel fish. Serious answers please

Update:

Thank you all for answering I'm choosing all of you for best answers i don't want to just choose one and they can't make me thank you all for your answers

Update 2:

So, would a 55 gallon work for 11 angel fishes????? I would like to get the tank today asap after work...... they don't make anything bigger than a 55 in this whole area unless I specially make it.

    A 20 gallon tank is big enough for zero angelfish. Right now, at 2 inches, 11 is already pushing your tank's limits. They get to 6 inches long and will need at least 90 gallons for the angelfish alone... at least 125 if you want any other fish in the tank.

    Oh, my. I hope you're joking. Angelfish grow to be about six inches long (not counting fins).

    You need a 30-gallon tank or bigger just for a few (3-4) of them.

    If you have 11, or 20, in a 20-gallon tank, they will all die until you have only one or two left. Then even that one or two will eventually outgrow your tank.

    no! a single angel fish needs 30 gallons. so for 11 you will probably need 100 gallons at the most

    Right now the tank is full, but possible. But Angels grow to about 6", plus fins. Just not going to work in a 20gal, even for one.

    11 Adult angels is going to need about 120gal.

    No Ifs... no buts...
