We have 3 breeding pairs Angel fish although another pair 17 years old are not breeding and only have the odd courting now. The problem is one of the female angel fish. She killed her last mate he was smaller than her. We left her on her own for quite a long time but she kept laying eggs. We looked on this forum about introducing her to a new mate. We hunted for some males bigger than her, not easy. We then put her and two males in a heavily planted very large tank as per the advice. Within days her and one of the males were giving the other male a beating. So we assumed she had chosen. She has now laid eggs she allowed him to fertilise them but if he dares come out of hiding and tries to fan the eggs, she attacks him violently. The worst thing is she has bitten part of his fin and tail off and proceeded to eat the bits. Do we remove him or him and the eggs or her at the moment he is hiding well and not moving. Will she get over this. We don't want to find another mate dead.
