Cookieskennels Posted June 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 am looking to buy a bigger tank, or a new rat cage...... i cant quite make my mind up lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afrikan Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 I have never seen fish reside in a rat cage before 8) I think it all depends on the individual fish when it comes to aggression, I have had angels from a very small size get stroppy and have had others that are so laid back right up until they get to a decent size... however, with having those eye catching tank mates in their tank, you might find they end up trying to predate upon them.. guppies, neons... they can often end up eyeing up smaller tank mates ie neons etc and even when what they are eyeing up could still be a bit too large for the mouth, it won't stop them trying and that's when you start seeing tails and finnage with chunks taken out... Just keep an eye on their behaviour as they develop, the could start getting stroppy or predating behaviour at a small size yet could hold off till they get to a decent size..

SpidersWeb Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 I had angelfish as fry, by the time they were at the 50c piece stage they were already fighting. As a result I've got one thats missing it's plectorial (spelling) pointy things. They'll attack each other long before attacking any other fish though.

Afrikan Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Will be good long term that you put your guppies etc in another tank, so that's great that there will be a change there 8) Umm re angels, I guess shops will always be a bit more expensive than purchasing privately from a fishkeeper/breeder. I have 5 small Koi angels at the moment that are starting to get a little stroppy with each other along with eyeing up the odd smaller tetra... they can be trouble with a capital T at times :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
