Hi all,
I have a pair of angelfish that have been bonded for quite a while now, and they've laid several batches of eggs, though none have been successful. Just recently, they had another batch, but all of a sudden, the male (I think it's the male) starts becoming really aggressive towards the female. Within a couple hours, I notice that the female has some rips in its fins and tail. Also, I'm not completely sure, but I think that the female has also become a little duller. They aren't both fighting, it's just the male being aggressive and the female attempting to run away. I've separated the male and placed it with another angelfish (which I think is a female but I really can't be sure). What should I do? I'm worried for the female, who still has eggs, but should I put the male back with the female after a few days?
