angels

i was wondering if i can put these two angels in the same tankthe black and yellow one is obout 6cm and the black one is obout 10cm? or fully grown? wil the big one kill the smaller one?

 

anybody?

 

Nope he will def not kill the smaller guy, he wii be terretorial though. How big is your tank and what other fish do u have in the tank?

 

100l wil the angel 2 gauramis and 3 bolivians and some red eye tetras

 

I wil put him in there ad just keep an eye on him?

 

How can i ser if its male or female? The black one must be able to sex?

 

Try and show them in one pic. Both from the side, with fins fully extended, showing the complete fish from top to bottom.
Putting them together should not be a problem. But watch them for a while. Any sign of aggression not ending quickly is an indication that the dominant one could hurt the timid one over time. You will have enough time to separate them again. Damage is not done instantly. Unless there is a fierce battle from word go, but even then you should be able to rescue.

 

You can add them together if you move the big one into the tank with the small one and not the other way around. The big one will be moving into the small ones territory and therefore the small one will be dominant when they start off together. You will then have to watch it that the big one does not become dominant and then hammers the smaller one. If they are both males you will have a problem though.

I would advise that you lower the temp to at least 24 C because then you reduce aggression in any case and then you can see how they interact and whether this will work.

However, black angels can be very aggro and can attack other angels very badly, they just simply have a bad temper.

Kind regards,

thanx for the advice wil try it tomorow.:idea: i hope they get along

 

Always good to hear the advice of the master! I just have experience of my tiny world...<br><br>

 

well the 2 angels are in the same tank now. the black one didnt swoh any aggresion at all. jay :bigsmile:

 

@Ryno, in my experience, you either have one angel or 6 in a tank - nothing in between. they may not show any aggression this soon, but keep a watchful eye on them over the next few weeks till territories are set up etc, and even if you see one just kind of "chasing" the other one around a bit, or one is always hiding from the other, you know you have trouble on your hands and then its only a matter of time befor one is dead from the stress.



good luck

 

I dident read all the posts of this thread but remember Angels fight if there is less then 6 in your tank (depends if the 2 decides to form a couple) I have 2 angels and they are very territorial and keeps the other one away from his area.

 

they are in the same tank now. they are very happy always swim together but the one is very small only 7months old

 

not very small but smaller

 

Thats good, dont worry about his size difference I'm sure he will cache up with the other one

 

he grows very quickly. like their personalities. if i go to the tank they are always infront begging for food and chasing evrybody away when i look at the other fish

 

Hehe Yea they are smart myne also Knows when its food time

 

when i started keeping fish i didnt like angels. but when i got my 1st one i just wanted more
