I currently have 2 juvenile angelfish in my 55 gallon tank, one platinum and one black. I bought them as very young/small fish but they were the same size. Unfortunately, since then the black one has become more dominant and bullies the platinum to the point it hasn't grown at all in the two months I've had them while the black has over doubled in size.
I have a 17 gallon tank that houses some tetras and I was thinking of putting the platinum in there for a while so he doesn't have to compete for food like he does in the community tank. That way I can grow him out before reintroducing him to the main tank.
Do you guys think this would work? Or does anyone have any other suggestions? I really like them both so ideally I don't want to get rid of either of them.
The pic shows the difference in size but please note the larger platinum Angel died after getting stuck in a decoration (I suspect the black one chased him In there)
