First some background, some of you know I have an angelfish named Serra Angel]http://f2.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/prriera/detail?.dir=/8ebd&.dnm=955c.jpg[/link]. Recently I got a new angelfish named [link=Johnny Angel. Now Serra is older & bigger than Johnny and has been picking on him since friday. We tried getting some red tetras and distracging Serra, but she keeps wanting to pick on Johnny.

It's a Cycled 55G tank, 2 Angels (named above) 6 tetras & 1 platy with plants & driftwood.

Now we need to do something with Johnny because he can't live hiding behind the heater forever.

Help me decide what to do....
[option1]Take Johnny back to the LFS[/option1]
[option2]Get a divider give Johnny 1/3 the tank[/option2]
[option3]Get 4 more angels and let them sort it out[/option3]

Maybe then he can at least gain some territory for him to hide in whenever he gets picked on...better than hiding behind the heater.

Yup

Well I got a divider. I sectioned off the agressive fish in what she originally claimed as her teritory (the bonsai). So now the other fish have the rest of the tank. I'll give her a few days to "think about what she's done". If this doesn't work I'll try one of the other options.

I would say to rearrange some stuff in the tank to disrupt the fish's territories.

It's not his fault if he can't behave..
Society made him go astray
Maybe if we're nice he'll go away...
Oh oh oh oh oh

Johnny boy, I hope you fr_!

Sorry..a bit of a blast from the past...(Oingo Boingo)

Sit in front of the tank for approximately 6 hours a day for a week and smack Serra on the nose with the handle end of a net every time she attacks Johnny...it worked for my mom's angels...
