it's the nature of angels and cichlids.. angels will tend to show aggression on their own species..more than likely establishing the pecking order.

make sure you have some vertical structure in the tank so there are hiding spot.

I think there is a common misconception that angels are peaceful fish. Among their own kind, they can be quite pugnacious.

adding more will spread aggression but will probably not stop it.

Angels are , as mentioned, very conspecific aggressive..aggressive within the psecies

I've had angels before (in a very heavily planted 90g with plenty of hiding spots) and won't keep them again. Once two of them paired up and started breeding, they killed the other three angels.

**** this sux....looks like I'm going to have a lot of dividing to do. How do all these angel fish keepers keep multiple angels in smaller tanks. I love my pinoy paraibas. I have plenty of cover this is an older picture I'm waiting for a big piece of driftwood to water log to fill the middle but I have a smaller piece in there now and I've added more artificial plants.
