	question about angelfish
chizunk Enthusiast Posts: 160 Kudos: 164 Votes: 0 Registered: 21-Jun-2004	i have two angel fish in a 40 gallon and ammonia nitrate and nitrite are all fine and ph os good to but when i put the newest one in the tank the old one (same sizes, tiny about inch long) nipped at the new one. is it possible that after the fighting they could pair up and babies not now but in the future because it seems to me that they are fond of each other. they do not go anywhere in the tank by theirselfs but my question is even after fighting can babies be in the future??

If that's the case, most likely, the fighting did no permanent damage, so I wouldn't be worried about that... PM/email/msg me if you have any questions/comments regarding me or my knowledge or if you want me to read a thread.

However, at first, the third angel was constantly being nipped at so I had to move her to another tank. Just a couple days after moving her the pair spawned.
