stock suggestions

I was recently “gifted” this male angel koi, due to a friend moving. But it was passed on to her from someone else because he’s very territorial with other angels and has a kill streak going. She kept it in a 55 community tank for a while with no other angels and he seemed to be doing fine. She...
