:help:Hi, I'm Tracy and a bit of a novice angelfish hobbist. We have a 120 gal aquarium with 8 angels, 4 corydoras, 2 pictus catfish, gold apple snail, and a flyer cat pleco. We've just discovered a breeding pair of 2 koi angles about two weeks ago. They claimed about 1/4 of the end of the tank, laying eggs on the filter tube. They both ate all eggs 3 days later. Now we've noticed another pair with our silver angels. They are claiming the other end of the tank with that filter tube! Now we have 4 aggressive fish in our tank and we're not sure quite what to do. We only have an extra 10 gallon tank that we use as a hospital tank when needed, and can't really afford to buy another. Does anyone have advice on how we can maintain peace in our tank? I'm worried they might stress each other too much and some may die. Let me know of any suggestions!

Tracy first of all welcome to AC,
Second I would suggest starting a thread in the ciclid section,
Third, best way to disperse aggression from my experience is provide more hiding places and allow the fish to break line of site. Plants work really well for this, fake or real break the line of site. In general in a tank if the fish don't see each other aggression deminishes
