Squabbling Angels

[MHunt]

I've got potentially a problem. Certainly one of my angels is in the mood for breeding (is clearly tubing and is a female), and seems to be trying to encourage one of the others (I guess it's a male but it hasn't noticeably been tubing) who keeps nipping at her fins, but she won't leave him alone. I don't want her to get seriously injured, but is there anything I can do to stop them squabbling? Or do I just have to leave them to it? All the other fish including my other two angels have been shooed to the other side of the tank.

Any ideas?

How many angels have you got and you sure its the female? both sexes have breeding tubes just one is bigger than the other. i had a trio in my tank at one point , randomly one day out of the blue one angel was really beat up and the other two started breeding. If you have more than one angel find out which one it's 'hitting' on and move the rest as theyre vicious little buggers.

They seemed to have calmed down now, stopped squabbling but one is a bit beat up, ragged fins etc. Just have to keep an eye on them and see how they go.
