Adding another Angel
Some of you guys have had some really good luck mixing angels together, so I need your opinion. My first angel was a Flame, then added a Swallowtail. I wanted to give the Swallowtail a partner, so I added a female. Long story short, didn't work. So, what do you think about adding a Potter's angel?

Was it the flame or the swallow tail that was aggressive? My personal experience is that flame angels are aggressive. I tired to add a coral beauty and he destroyed it.

I've been also thinking about trying an acclimation box. If that doesn't work I think that will be it for anymore new angels.

Sounds like you have a male swallowtail since you said you added a female as a partner. Male swallowtail can be aggressive. Acclimation box is a good idea. Get the new guy to eat and be strong(in a QT preferably). A strong fish can take a lot of crap. Potters will be worse since they are shy at the beggining.
Good luck. |

Is it east to distinguish male from female? Would it be possible they are from different areas... If that makes an issue. Even clowns won't always bond. Can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink, as the saying goes. |
All of my experiences have varied fish to fish. All of them are different, just like humans. Some will be nasty, and some will be awesome. I would personally just try a different fish.
Acclamation box sounds like a good move. You could also try removing the aggressor for a while. Add the other one to the display for a while so it can establish some territory, and then try the aggressive one in the acclimation box. |
