At present rehome is not possible as i am allowed to keep only one tank by my parents. ??

I was thinking of adding more rocks and decorations to create more caves and hiding places.

Breaking line of sight is good and bad.
It allows a hiding pace or a territory to defend...
By rehome I believe Brook meant return to LFS.
29 g is pretty tight...

Okay then how many rams should be kept in a 29 gallon to avoid such aggression and battle.

IMO one pair will be more then enough if and when either the angels or rams choose to breed....
Make sure you keep male and female.
Brook has 2 of my girls and one male.....
They are now in 2 tanks I believe....
Listen to brookster!
Nice video man too bad those were your fish.....

Yes, I tried the trio but the odd female got beat on, her fins were all tattered and bitten.. had to remove her.
Those were my wc yes.. tank swap killed them.. (my fault)

I got it sir. Thanks
From now i will keep an eye on their aggressions. One more question - how to differentiate between RAM male and female?

We can all offer our opinions if you post pics.
This is probably best IMO...
Males IMO are ALWAYS bigger.
So if no other tell showed I would keep largest and smallest...
Females may have blue in their black spot and shorter fins overall.
The two you showed both looked female IMO.
They have nice fins but do look hungry.
The red belly is a female tell also...
