Introducing baby angels with adults?

Lexus · 08-20-2005, 09:18 PM

Alright I have 2 adultish angels in my 55G, they are about the size of the palm of my hand. I have 2 baby angels the size of a quarter or half dollar in my 29g. I was wondering if the adults would possibly kill the babies if I introduced them to the 55g? The verdict is out on whether the adults are a pair or not. Any ideas?

So the babies are half the size of the adults? That should work okay. There would probably be a little bullying the first day or two in order to let the new fish know the pecking order, but after that they should do fine.

to minimize nipping move the decor and gavel around a little bit 1st then add the smaller angels, that will let each of them establish new territories, but their'll be fine i used to have 4 angels in a 20g and no one ever bothered anyone, i have 2 in a 55g now. gave the smaller 2 away. Only problem i had was the bigger ones would eat more of the food so u may want to feed more or feed in different spots
