Every couple of weeks, dip the larger fish out and put them in another tank. Raising angelfish could quickly take over an entire fishroom.
Ron, I too have raised Angels for years. I am developing a strain of "pygmy". If you come across any during your cull process that are very small (not crowded) and have long Pectoral fins. Would you let me know? I'd be interested in buying them from you. Thanks, SueM
