Angel Fish Hassling Gouramis

[chuckie500]

I have had an angelfish for about 9 months nnow. It was smaller of course when I bought him, but now he is much bigger and seems to chase my blue gourami and lace gourami around. I think the hassling is getting worse. Is this common? Should I let her go?

Yes that is vary common when ever you add a new fish it is all was a good idea to change the decor to eliminate territory's Also it gives all the fish a chance at there own piece of land if you catch my drift..

angels can become VERY aggressive when they are older.
