Large Angels And Small Angels

[darkfool58]

hi all
 
I have recently purchased two small koi angelfish and my two larger angel fish keep picking on them. at first rightly or wrongly i thought they where just sorting out the pecking order now im not so sure.
 
Is there anything i can do to stop the larger ones being so agreessive?

Thats typical in angelfish and really most cichlids. They are bigger and more dominant so unless the smaller ones have LOTS of space to hide they will be bullied until death. I would suggest rehoming them or even taking them back to the shop you got them and seeking out a bigger pair IF your tank is suitable

Agreed with above. They are relentless especially if the larger ones are hitting sexual maturity. Been there, done that, got the t.shirt
