In this work we determine the consequences of the quantum entanglement of a system of two identical particles when the generalized uncertainty principle (GUP) is considered. GUP is usually associated with the existence of a minimal length. We focus on the main formulations of the GUP and then we determine the minimal uncertainties in position induced by those modified GUP's. Our results point out that the minimal uncertainty is reduced by half of its usual value independently of the GUP employed. This implies that the minimal length is also reduced by half. On the other hand, it is generally expected that the minimal length must not depend on physical system. We overcome this apparent paradox by realizing that the entangled system is composed by two particles so that an effective parameter related to the minimal length must be employed.
