Tough call Keron. You’ll probably have to remove it to another tank, or try more plants/hiding spots.

hello, I currently have 4 angelfish, 10 scissor tail tetras, 8 tiger barbs, 2 rainbow sharks, 3 cory cats and 1 pleco.
The angels keep picking on the smaller angelfish, and i am afraid that the smaller angel will die. He’s already stressed and his fins are clamped. please any help will be greatly appreciated. All the other fish are fine and get along. the barbs pick on each other, and the rainbows live on separate sides of the tank.

I have the following Angelfishes:

1 Silver Angelfish (2″)
1 Halfblack Veil Angelfish (4″[w],5.5″[h])
1 Marble Angelfish (2″)
2 Koi Angelfish (2.5″ & 2″)
1 Albino Pearlscale Angelfish (2″)
1 Moonfish (2″)

with 1 Clown Catfish (2.5″) & 1 Albino Pleco (1.5″)

living in a 22 Gallon Tank (24″x12″x20″)

They have been living together for 2months now and all seem pretty ok w/ eachother.

I do often find them taunting eachother and act like kissing eachother.

They enjoy eating frozen bloodworms every morning and tetramin pro on evenings.

The thing about them is that when i approach the tank to look at them, they all convened at where my face is. But when my other housemates look at them, they don’t even bother that someone is looking at them. Hehehe

I have tried keeping angelfish, but my angelfish died right away (within 2 weeks.) I had 2 then 1 died so I bought another 1. Then the other one that I got first died then the new one died. So I didnt have much luck.

Hi Candace,

You'll need to remove the other fish if you have a safe environment for them. Otherwise, they'll probably eat the eggs. Are you able to use a partition that would seperate them? That will work too.

Also, your pair may eat them too. You never know. The eggs will turn into wigglers, which look like eggs with wiggling tails. Eventually, the whole fry will form. They'll need plenty of cover to hide.

Also, you could expect another egg laying in a few weeks if these disappear.

Your first step would definitely be to seperate the eggs from other fish.

Hope they stay ok!

my tank is a 20 gallon tank, and thank you for the chart! i’ll keep it in mind when i buy fish in the future! i haven’t added any larger fish and they’re all fine. thanks for the advice because i would never want anything bad to happen with my fish:)

How big is your fish tank Candace? I wouldn't put any bigger fish in with the Angelfish. Smaller ones if you've got room should be ok though. Here's a freshwater fish compatibility chart to give you some ideas. Remember 1 inch of fish is allowed per gallon of water in the aquarium. Mike
