Nice planted tank, but it seems to be suffering from an angelfish infestation (grin)(Just teasing)
On a serious note, you do have some very nice angles, but they are outgrowing the tank. Might be a good idea to plan a larger home for them.
ya they chew up the plants, out of 6 angels- they have 2 sets of 3 fish ..all breeding regularly.
Yes this is the largest tank I can dedicate to them now. Luckily they grew into 2 groups of 3 fish. All are breeding. They get very aggressive to the other group & me if I put my finger in the tank-when eggs are in tank.
They will try to jump out of the tank & attack me when they have eggs or fry- they are the most offensive fish I own- when they have eggs or fry...by far! Lol...lucky (me & the other fish) they have very tiny mouths. When they don't have eggs or fry they are pretty chill, but boy do they snap with eggs! Lol
They bite like a clownfish, but only when they have eggs/fry so you know when it is coming, unlike clowns..Lol
I know angels should have more tank & it is true they should, mostly because of breeding because they get very mean with eggs/fry.
For the most part angels don't swim much (but they sure can swim fast if they want to!) I've learned to separate them with a large plant (for now). Glad it works well for now, but it is not a permanent solution.
They will lay eggs on leaves, glass, heater, wood, and defend it day & night. Then comes the intensity! Lol
Long story short I understand the dynamics, its not optimal but each set of three are breeding but still need a larger tank. They were dime size when I got them, but my other tanks started breeding like crazy & I don't have enough buyers so they needed a tank for themselves. They cannot stay with South American or African Cichlids! They must be separate! A large tank with Discus maybe!
The pet stores (locally) can't keep up. (They get a great deal) & I've been giving my small african cichlids away lately.
I'm going to be moving pretty soon so I'm starting to give them away and sell my freshwater stuff off. All my cichlids are healthy (American African), always have been, and breeding too fast & have created some neat hybrids-(Africans).
If anyone in the south-western,MI / northwest, IN or northeast, IL area(near Chicago) let me know.
I'm taking pics & they will be on the site & Craigslist very soon.
These fish need good homes & must have large freshwater tanks with compatible inhabitants.
I will demand pics of there new home & ask questions as I will not let them go to home I not feel acceptable, & prefer a larger tank than what they grew up in.
