big tank with lots of plants...didn't figure b such a problem

[sweetsh4real]

ok...thanks...didn't realize fish could have so many personalities...I'm a little confused...may just take this one back and try again???

You can try that. Theyre still too small to pair off
but it could still work by spreading out some of the aggression. You just risk ending up with more males.

[sweetsh4real]

yes 75....they have been doing fine....but if not I should trade out agreesor or just add couple more so it won't be like paired off?

about a quarter

Is this in your 75g tank? If so, you've got enough room. Is the angel that's being picked on able to get any food at all? Is it able to swim around? If it's not able to eat or having frayed fins or being cornered, you may consider taking it out and giving it away or taking out the aggressor. They shouldn't be showing that much aggression just yet, but you may have 2 males and a female. I've done both ways-- trading out the aggressor and also trading out the aggressor and adding a few more angels at the same size, depending on how much room you have.

3 angelfish and 5 cory cats...The three angels seem to get along ok unless there is food involved...in that case one of the angels is agressive towards one but not the other..not sure if I need to get a couple more or what?

What size are your angels (body size at a nickel, quarter, etc)?

They can be fairly aggressive even as young fish. Depends what else you have in the tank with them, but they pretty much go after anyone!

At what size do these fish become a menace to other fish?
