After all that she ate the babies. She is one crazy fish. But i cant help liking her she has a dont mess with me expression on her face. Broken hearted though our Angel pair been together for 16 years in the same tank for 17 years. she died last night. Have put him in community tank to see how...

Yea Thank you both. We moved him back into community Angel tank was worried he might get aggressive in there but has settled down fine with the others. We put in health boost as he lost bits of fins and tail but dosnt seem worse for wear or the least bit bothered by his removal even though he...

Thank you Byron. We are gonna move him out and put him back in the community Angel tank he might some time in the future find an easier partner in there. Yes it is sad i think she may have to live on her own or maybe try her with some of our other tanks with no other Angels see if she might get...

i did think maybe after all that spawning maybe she just hungry so gave her some blood worms she picked a few but wasnt much bothered. Im also worried that if we stick a net in to catch one of them the other one will eat the eggs. All our Angel pairs fight each other sometimes usually courtship...

I agree that animals behave the way they behave. But if one animal in a zoo was killing another as humans we would not stand by and let it happen. We cannot help but base our own emotional response onto the wild animal. I really just want to do the best I can without any fish getting killed. I...

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...

We have also had problems due to snails cuttlefish getting burried and started to rot. and a hollow log started to rot inside. There is ussually something...

I want everyone to know that things seem to have sorted themselves out. I think the sailfin stopped comming out and feeding as poss terrified of the common after he went crazy and took his fin off. I did report that the sailfin did start to come out and eat. We decided to put him back with...

I didnt mention the sailfin is 4-5 inches and we had nowhere else but the 48litre in emergency as he wasnt getting any food silver dollars so greedy. As he has come out to feed 2 times now we hoping he will go back to standing up for himself with the dollars. will keep you informed.

Thankyou for all your advice. I agree with frofro they have been living together happily for 6 years and then common got agressive. It was sad as common would just have occassional aggressive fit and they would be ok. for the sailfin to loose a fin had to take action. I think frofro is right the...

We have just joined and would like some help straight away. Our common pleco 7 inches suddenly became aggressive. I came on here and read that he had prob become territorial. He had taken the bottom fin from the smaller sailfin and sucked scales of a silver dollar. We have a 240litre and...
