Quarantine stocking problem

[confusedfishmom]

Hi all, I'm in need of advice. I have a 20g tank that I have been using as a quarantine for 5 juvenile angelfish. Unfortunately, 1 angel is a bit larger than the others (1.5" compared to about 1"). Well, as happens with angels he has turned out to be a bully to all the others. My plan is to move them all into a 75g in 1.5 weeks (after 3 weeks of qt). However, I'm concerned now that he will either kill or stress himself or others until they get sick and/or die. Two questions, should I go ahead and take him back to lfs or would he possibly be more chill in larger tank? Should I move my qt schedule up and release the 4 non aggressive angels early? Any advice appreciated. Angels are so much fun but such jerks! Ha.

Anyone?

I would return the bully. An aggressive fish usually doesn't change. Under no circumstances would I change my quarantine plans, that's just asking for trouble.

Thanks for the response.
