| Comments: | At first, no angelfish would last in my one tank. Now, they won't stop mating! The male takes a dominant role in caring for the eggs and then fry. I cannot keep my two large females in the same tank - one just keeps ramming the other and would probably kill her with no intervention. The smaller angelfish seem to mind their own business and only check things out when they are curious. |
