I have 3 fish in a 29G tank (the tank is about a week old). Fish 1 (female) fish 2 (unknown/most likely male) fish 3 (male). I’m not sure if how they are acting is mating. Fish 2 and fish 3 fight a **** ton and act like the want to kill each other. Fish 1 and 2 sometimes fight but it’s not as bad. Fish 2 does this thing where he swims really fast at fish 1 and than like stops and barely touches her. Fish 1 and 2 also do this thing where they like peck at each other’s chests not super aggressively. Fish 1 and 2 are usually near each other while the other fish is usually separated or chased behind the filter. Also I saw fish 2 and 3 lip lock so I’m not sure if maybe they were fighting over the girl.

Hate to be the one to break this to you, but since you have several threads going and all related to problems...

29G is too small for one angel fish, let alone 3. When you say they are trying to kill each other it is because they are, and it won't be long till you have only one angel fish, because one will succeed and kill the other 2.

I suggest you find them alternative accomodation as soon as possible.
