View Full Version : Angel fish

Hi all,

I have a problem.... I got 2 new angels, wild caught in Peru, beautiful
fish! But unfortunately, they don't get along very well with one of the
three I had before. The one they don't get along with is obiously the male
that has claimed the tank as his territorium, but being only half the size I
didn't think it would be a problem.

Now, the smaller one of the new fought back - mouth to mouth struggle (quite
interesting to watch :-) and they agreed on the pecking order after a short
while. The bigger one however, doesn't fight back, but flee from this angry
midget, so they never get to find who is the boss....

From the behaviour described, who is males and females? Will they ever find
the pecking order? Should I remove the dominant midget? Can a female defend
her male, if they have formed a pair? What do you think is the best solution
to this situation?

Apreciate your input as it's very unsettled in the tank right now!
