Big Angelfish With Small One

  • #1
hi, so I got a small angelfish from a friend because his tank broke but I'm having some issues with the angels in the same tank. The big one I have is about 4-5 inches or so and grew up with other fish so he's not that aggressive to others. However, he keeps chasing around the small angel (about 1,1/2 inch) and I'm worried he might finally get to him and kill him. I have a secondary small tank but I got a betta in there and I've read online that the angel will kill her regardless.

Can you separate the fish - like setting up a spare tank or tote - until you can get something more permanent, or consider ISO-ing the baby angel in one of those mesh fry savers - or a small tote with holes drilled in the sides, and some pool noodles so it remains floating?

I have a fry saver so I can separate them, but I can't get anything more permanent as I don't have the space for another aquarium, nor do I have any other friends that can take the angel. It pains me thinking of the young one dying but I just can't seem to find any positive solutions. I could always try to plant up the aquarium I currently have?

What about rehoming it to your local pet store?

I'm considering that, but the local pet stores aren't open today, I'll have to check if they'd even accept the fish. (I live in Sweden)
