I have a 36 gallon freshwater community tank with one angelfish. Lately, the angelfish has been laying eggs on the filter intake tube and by the looks of her bulging sides, she's been gravid for about a month straight now.
I've been in contact with an angelfish breeder who is looking to sell me a male angelfish about the same size as my female. The angel will be doing 2-3 shipping from California to Florida, so the breeder said the fish is going to be pretty angry when he gets here. However, he said I should drip acclimate him for 4 hours or so and he will calm down.
The problem I am having is that I have had my female since her body was the size of a U.S. quarter. I've had her for about 8 months now and I'm afraid she's too established in the tank to add a male safely.
Does anyone have any pointers for me? I really want my female to be able to have babies!
