Angelfish in a 20 gallon?
I tried to ask this question before, but I think it may have been too lengthy so I will try again.
I have a twenty gallon that currently houses two female betta, three platys, and a guppy-- all of which will be moved to a 20 gallon long very soon.
I have a 55 gallon with a BGK and three angelfish. Someday soon, I will be moving all of these fish to a 150 gallon, along with blue rams and hopefully a couple more angelfish.
I don't want to add anymore fish to the 55 gallon, but I would like to get the angelfish I will be putting in the 150 gallon sooner than later, so they will be the same size when introduced to each other.
Can one or two angelfish live happily in a 20 gallon regular aquarium with two or three blue rams? And if I were to get them, they'd probably live with the betta, platys, and guppy at least for a few days or weeks, would that be okay?

Angelfish really need at least thirty gallons and do prefer taller aquariums. I wouldn't keep them in 20 gallons. You'd be ok with two rams, but not three - three in such a small space could cause aggression. You may not want to risk such a colourful fish as a ram with a betta - that could cause conflict.
I'd wait til you have a larger tank with no other inhabitants. :)
