Angel Aggression

[Squidward]

Hi All,

I am thinking of adding some Angels to my 240L tank.
How many is a good group size? I have been led to beleive either 1 or 5?

I have recently bought a copy of "Barron's, Angels", and no where does he mention aggression or potential fighting?

Any comments?
Thanks

This is just from personal experience.

I bought a group of 6 angels last year, only small added them to the 2 I already had. They all grew up ok untill origional 2 started to pair, then the one I presumed to be the male due to the slight hump forming started chasing the other angels, 2 in particular he was really aggressive with. I re-homed the pair and the same started again when the next pair formed If you get a group of the same sex I think they should be ok, its when they start to pair off you get problems.

I think they Angels are quite difficult to sex? Particularly when they are small?
