Angels fighting carring on - and on

The reason for opening this thread is because i'm getting bit worried.
Reading this you'l get an idea of whats been going on with my angels.
Whats worrying me now is that Silver seems to going against F-H and Blackie a lot more than f-h and Blackie against each other. They merely go at one another fast once or twice and the slowly back away. Where as silver is 80% of the time "standing to attention" by that i mean standing with her/his fins stiff out, against f-h but more so Blackie. She's got lots of bruises and i see her going behind the filter a lot, now. I really dont want to lose her as she's my prettiest angel. Nothing odd here? Have i just got to let them fight it out?.....
Tnx

What size tank are they in Sabi? Are there other fish too? What kind/how many. What sex are the Angels? Do you have the tank planted quite a bit? Was Silver the 1st one in the tank? It might be the order in which they went in the tank...most fish will establish dominance in the tank, and usually one fish over any of the others. The best way to help the one picked on is to make sure there are plants and things to "break up" the wide open water area of the tank. It's good that you are watching, so you can see what is happening and try to solve it

Sorry for taking so long to reply/update, its been really hectic this week.
They are in 67gal and yeah there other fish. In my blog i have more info.
I doubt its a territory thing, tho it could be. This fighting has been going on a long while now and i was led to believe it was for pairing.

-Anyway i put up some vids not at all good quality but i guess it shows what its meant to. What do you say?

Good morning Sabi
I ended up having to get a divider for my angel fish tank. Now I have one on each side, since I only have the two. I let them try to work it out, but my silver also was being aggravated by the black marble. So I had to separate for the peace of the silver. You may have to think about a divider that you can put in part of your tank to keep the aggressive angel fish away from the others?
