I've lost fish to this type of behavior so I still suggest you separate the pair and just let the male raise the fry. It shouldn't effect their spawning later as the desire to breed will overtake the desire to fight. But again, Angels are Cichlids and as such, you take your chances as they do sometimes hurt each other beyond repair. 
I look forward to seeing it. I hope it can hang in the hatchery.
Well Thank you both.
3 spawns is no where near enough to figure out a "regular" cycle so don't think much of it just yet. As for the smaller amount of eggs it could mean 1-that they ate some of them before you saw them, 2- they aren't old enough to make a large amount of eggs for each time, or 3- the diet isn't high enough in protein to help them produce a lot of eggs in between spawns or the spawning time is too soon for them to be producing a lot of eggs. It would take a few spawns and different steps to see which one is the cause. If it's a continual thing, I would look into it otherwise, I'd just keep track of the diet and results based on days between spawns.
They definitely didn't eat any- I was watching them
And their diet is a cube of bloodworms or brine shrimp every day plus a feeding of quality flake so I don't think it's the protein. I would have to guess it's just youth. In any case I'll accept the blessing of not needing quite as much space
Change nothing else but go back to the enriched brine shrimp and see if it makes a difference. Then you will know for sure.
What some don't realize, for example, is that while it may cost pennies to make a pill, it takes millions of dollars of research and development to get to that point. In my case, I am so many months into this "dilemma" and it wasn't until yesterday, during a conversation with my friend, discussing the a,b,c,d,e things I have been doing to see what would work, that 1 thing, just 1 thing would answer all my questions and give me the direction I need to go in. But again, if I didn't do all those other things first, I wouldn't have had a reason to think to do this one thing. Just like in medical research. This last experiment has been set up and I should have an answer by tomorrow morning.
And you've kept and bred how many Angelfish before?
Ok, maybe not angelfish, but I've kept blue and bolivian rams, geophagus, severums, multis, lots of corydoras, a bajillion kinds of loaches, among other things- and no bloat. I'd say that's not bad!
I'm just trying, as kindly as I can, to tell you avoid the wrath of the
Fish Gods who don't take kindly to those who boast of their success. That's always been a recipe for disaster in my experience.
I edited this and wish I had heard these words myself years ago!
Curse these rams!
Interested in the 'final' experiment.........
