i think it needs to be higher, would be ok for a short while but not for an adult. imo.

Hang on, oo-er? 2 ft tall? The tank is 2ft tall? (like, water depth?)

These fish can grow very large, they can also have a nasty murderous streak in them so i would be careful if you plan to put anything else in there.

2ft high is plenty,even for wild altums.How big do you think angels get?!!!!!

Just measured the tank its 30"high X 18" long.

did you get the tank specially made? i know the usual hight of a standard tank is just over 2foot or the glass needs to be made for that height.. as the pressure needs 12mm thickness or am i wrong?

20gallons is not big enough for angel fish

You need to be looking at something much larger as these guys to get rather big
