I upgraded to a 75 gallon tank about 3 months ago and am loving it. The only problem is that my 3" firemouth is extremely aggressive and is stressing my angelfish out a lot. My angel is a beautiful platinum and his fins have started to fray from fin nipping and possibly the early stages of fin rot due to stress from the firemouth. The tank is well filtered and kept at 78 degrees. The tank is medium planted as well as I have 2 seperate caves, 2 small pieces of driftwood, and a larger fake driftwood.
Stock is: 1 3" firemouth
1 2.5" angelfish
1 2.5" krib
5 male guppies
3 Julii cories
4 Peppered cories
1 clown pleco
1 rubber lip pleco
Any suggestions on how to decrease aggression? I much prefer the angelfish over the firemouth, though would be happy if I could keed both somehow.
