Angelfish problem!

[em_witt]

So my 4 angels were doing pretty well in a 37 gal tank w/ some mollies...then I noticed that one of the koi/marble one was chasing the black one around in the morning. When I came home from school there was the black 1 hiding in the back all torn up...I have some pics...and the marble/koi one was in the middle of the tank like he was all that!!
What is up with that??? Any and all advise would be appreciated!
Here is the pic...Both sides of the black

2 males will fight a lot

Angela are finicky. My females get into before they spawn. Have they spawned yet?

 

[em_witt]

Not yet... It's been 7 months since I got them tho

 

[somethingsfishy]

That's how mine got before the first spawn. Now they have learned to stay away when it's time. A pair of mine just spawned a couple of hours ago. Yours should be getting close to maturity. Have any paired off or started cleaning a spot in the tank?

 

[em_witt]

Not yet but he/she has fins torn and scales missing and now it won't eat! It has always been the best eater!

 

[em_witt]

So should I put the mean one back in the tank with the others? He is in a breeding net now...

Welcome to AA!!

It may be that two have paired up and the others will need removed. Any time you put multiple angels together it is likely you will end up having to remove some.

The damaged fish needs removed to a hospital tank to heal, and then will likely need rehomed if you don't have another tank.

The only other tank I have is a 75 w/ s. american cichlids coming...
What do I do!!!!!

 

[em_witt]

Right now I have convicts on 1 half and koi on the other w/ a tank divider in the middle ... Can I put the beat up Angel w/ two 6 inch koi? The Angel's body is like 3 inches

 

[em_witt]

So can I????

 

[em_witt]

Any and all help is appreciated!!!

 

[em_witt]

Anyone?!?!?!

 

[siva]

Well...if you can't set up another tank, I think you'll need to get rid of the fish you can no longer accommodate.

K got a friend who wants it so it's his!!

 

[siva]

Nice! Always good to have friends in the hobby.

 

[em_witt]

Ya and I kno he will take good care of it!

It sounds like to rehoming one is a good idea. 37g is pretty small for 4 angels anyways.
Just a note, once you get rid of one, be on the look out for other issues. 3 angels don't usually get along, so its likely you will have to rehome another one and just keep 2. Hopefully they all get along though, but be watchful.

 

[em_witt]

K I will...thx for the advise!!

 

[em_witt]

OMG!!!! I recently looked in my hospital tank and my angel is dead! and I kno the water is fine because I had 4 baby mollies with it, big enough not to get eaten, but small enough to still allow room for the angel, bout 1/2 inch!
