i have 3 angles in my tank im sure 2 are females and 1 is a male i think i have a humbug zebra angle and 2 x blue grey angles. my tank is 4ft long 1ft/half high and 1ft/half deep. the plants i have are sword plants wich are big and healthy.
my humbug angle and the blue and grey angle 1 seem to be at one end of the tank cleaning leafs left right and centre but the odd thing is blue and gery angle seems to get board of this and goes to the other end of the tank and pairs up with blue and grey angle 2 and dose the process all over again cleaning leafs lef right and centre. when this cleaning process goes on the y seem to attack and go for me tetras and corys in my tank. (when blue grey angle is with blue gery angle 2 or vice versa blue grey angle 1 is with humbug angle humbug angle angle and blue grey angle 2 fight like cat and mouse they shake at each other with there fins all puffed out and attack each other very aggresively as ive seen some scales have been missing off both fish. any suggestions will be very helpful?

as mentioned in your other threads darrellg, once they become agressive so there are injuries, its time to move out the bullys or the submissive ones...your tank isnt big enough for 2 pair when they are being so agressive now prior to spawning cleaning off leaves or other flat spots, is a sign of a spawn coming

thank you shawnie but the problem i still have which angle do i move as there are only 3 left in the tank now the humbug and the two blue grey angles?

Shawnie

id move the one that is hurt the most and who is alone the most ....

my blue gey angle 1 keeps going from one end of the tank to the other and spends time with humbug angle then blue grey angle 2 which one do i remove humbug or blue grey angle 2?

Shawnie

try moving humbug for a few days and do a small 20% water change in the blue's tank...if they are a pair, they will spawn usually a few days after a water change ...feed some extra frozen thawed bloodworms as well..the extra protein and small water change, should push them right into the mood if they are a pair...
