Males can be agressive towards other fish, and probably somtimes against other male angels or maybe females. Try seperating the two for a while if you have another tank. If not try a tank divider. Less swimming room but it would be temporarily.

ericm Fish Addict Posts: 573 Kudos: 448 Votes: 47 Registered: 21-Aug-2004	That is a good idea. I never really thought of that. Change around the surroundings alot so it feels like the angels are in a new place. See what happens from there. If not try the divider idea.

Angels can become quite aggressive. http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/s8xi5heh/my_photos http://www.geocities.com/s8xi5heh/classic_blue.html http://groups.yahoo.com/group/buzaqq/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com

It might not have been the other angel that attacked it. It could ahve easily been a tank mate. Changing the decor around will definately help as the "boss" angel will not recognize anything as his territory any more until he reestablished it.

This sort of circumstance could bring on behavior that you are seeing. OR You could have 2 males and the dominant one does not want the other male there. Keep a close eye on things as it could turn bad very quick. Be prepared to move one out if necessary. Before you criticize someone walk a mile in their shoes. That way you're a mile away and you have their shoes.
