My same angel pair laid again on Saturday. For some reason the male is really beating up the female a good size section of her tail is missing and you can see places in her side where he bit her. Is this normal behavior? I don't remember my other pairs doing this. Is there something I should do?
Jo

Mugwump

yes, get her butt out of there before he kills her....he wants to raise, or dominate the tank....it's odd, but does happen...

Jo

if he isn't successful with this batch of eggs, should I put another female in with him, or same one?
Jo

Mugwump

I'd try to re-pair her, if she's ok....I put him in a pair off tank someplace and see if he's better with another female....

You don't think it is because the tank is a 10 gallon do you? I just don't have another place for a pair right now. Everything else I have has gravel and plants in the tank. Would a pair be ok in an 18 gallon planted tank. I have 6 cherry barbs, 2 small angels, and bn in this tank.
Jo

Mugwump

yep, crowding may do that....they need to be separated before he destroys her...get creative with what you have.....

I put her in the 55 he is in 10 alone.
Jo

Mugwump

cool, watch her close..if she's wounded and vulnerable, the others may go after her too....

I have been and went and got some stress coat for the tank... so far she is good. I think she just wonders why I took her away from babies.
Jo

Mugwump

Well, if he has caviar, let em spawn again, and take him out....

He ate them today. They were gone when I went home for lunch. I have major plans for tank changes and then will see if he picks another mate. I just want to let her heal for now. These are the 2 I have that look like silvers but you showed me they are zebra. I'd really like silver's they are my favorite. That may not be what I get. LOL
Jo

Mugwump

If those Zebras are +/Z....then you'll get 25% Silvers +/+, 25% Zebra Z/Z, and 25% Zebras +/Z, with a spawning....Silvers/Zebra

The female is one I got from donh on TaffII and the mom was silver and dad was zebra. I don't have any history on the male.

In that case, if dad's a Silver, you'll get more Silvers than Zebras...

I think he is Zebra that looks like silver mostly. I thought he was a silver and posted pic and you told me he was zebra to go look at pics and I did. I got one of my other stands from my FIL last night and am going to move everyone around. You think the 18 gallon is a big enough breeding tank same dimensions as 10 just tall. I also have a 25. That I have baby Koi angels in they are quarter size if that. I could put them in 18 and him in 25 with couple of different girls if that would be best?
