Is it ok to put 2 smaller Angel fish with 1 large one2007-11-24 23:11:36Answers:

Basically, yes. It will end in the death of at least one, probably both of the smaller angels. The large angel has matured and claimed the tank as his territory and will defend it against other angels and chase them away. Sicne they can'trun far, they will be killed. Your only solution is to remove them or the large angel from the tank.

it seems that the larger angel fish is the dominant one. i think you SHOULD take those 2 out b4 the bigger fish becomes the death of them!

they will probably kill it, big fish do that to smaller ones. i have 2 fantails, a medium sized and a small one. when i bought them, they were the same size. the one thats small now has a bent fin and one eye, he was like that when i bought him (wal mart) and the bigger one rarely bugs him, they are good friends. if the fish are different sizes and bought from the same store at the same time they should get along, but thats not always the case. my stepmoms fantail killed the telescope eye and the other fish in the tank within a week! you have to take the small one back unless they start getting along. good luck :)

Try it. If you see any aggression( not curiosity) take'em out. Angels are pretty aggressive so don't be surprised if they chase the little guy to death. With two of 'em they can "tag team " chase 'em stressing him to death, so be careful and if you do put 'em in make sure you have the time to watch for while. If your considering buying a new addition and adding it, just don't.

Any time I've had angel fish they beat the crap out of everything in the tank pretty much. They're mean little guys.

Ditto to magic. The only possible solution you might find to work is rearrange everything in your tank. I've got cichilds too and even I sometimes forget you can employ this measure when adding new fish. Like magic said, the bigger pretty much feels he has this tank to himself. If you move everything around, it can help the bigger angel feel he's in a new tank and new boundries will form. However, depending on the size of this tank, it may not work if the overall tank space is too small, but you can try.
