Can anyone help me?? I have 2 fully matured angelfish ( male and female ) who keep fighting! they have bred many times but now all they do is fight! what can i do?? add another female?!

any advice appreciated

They could be fighting over territory, how large is the tank? Re-arranging the decor in the tank may help the situation if it is a territorial dispute, but i'm no expert on angels.

Thanks for your Quick reply,

its a 180 litre, further details on it are on my page. I have tried that but it only works temporarily! thought adding another female might spread out/get rid of the aggression??

how do you mean fighting? are you absaloutly possitive they aren't just testing each other for another spawning? or dont they do that everytime they spawn?

100% yeah ive seen them testing eachother before. This isnt it, its biting eachother ( even thought they dont have any teeth ) as theyre going for any part of the body NOT THE MOUTH

What i would personally do is divide the tank for now to at least separate them from each other so they can't attack each other while they are in this mood, get a divider net like this;
