I have 4 platinum Angel fish in my 125 litre juewl tank and one of the angels has just laid a load of eggs on one of the amazong swords. I never noticed before but 2 of them have paired off and are now being territorial over half the tank because of the eggs. My problem is the other 2 angels, I am wondering if there will be any major problems, luckily one of the non pairers is the biggest in the tank but the other is the smallest, even though its only by a small amount. The male chases away the others but will sometimes go over to the non pairers corner of the tank and start flaring at them. Any advice would be appreciated, I've never had a fish with eggs or any live bearers before so I'm a total novice. The pair are on the right at the swords. The other 2 are on the left in the back cove area.

How long have you had these fish? I sense these fish aren't full grown. The tank size should be upgraded or take out 3 of the angels and just keep one in there and add some little fish. Keeping 4 angels in a 125 liter tank is just too much. I advise you to remove 2 of the angels. Or even better yet, remove 3. You may not agree with me, but that might be better for the tank so they won't bully one another. If your fish grow any bigger, there will be a huge problem. Wish you the best. :)

Ive had them about three months. But just got back from a 1 month holiday and they have doubled in size, so i have yet to decide what to do and i dont have much time to do it. Do you think i could keep the pair or keep the non pair, because I'm not sure they will grow any bigger, but if they do i will just get rid of them all?
 
i would advice to remove any other fish in the tank besides the breeding pair of angel fish... The parents will be very aggressive to any other fish because they are protecting their young. also if you do leave the other fish in there when the babies come and start swimming around then they will most likely be eaten.

here is a video which i find will help you a lot.. watch all of it :) it'll show you what to do throughout all of the stages.
