I have two freshwater fish tanks, both of them are 20 gallons. In one, I have a pair of angelfish, because they lay eggs and the other fish always eat them. The other tank has 5 glowlight tetras, 4 red eyed tetras, 2 gold barbs, and 5 zebra danios. I just moved the angelfish in with them, so that the new angelfish fry that I have can eat brine shrimp without the parents eating them up first. The angelfish fight each other constantly when they have fry, and this time, it’s particularly bad. The female’s bottom lip is completely torn up, and she can’t close her mouth properly. I think she’s getting an infection, too. What do I do?
Actually, now that I moved them into another tank where they can’t see their fry, they have stopped being aggresive and are now elegant little pancakes swimming around in the water. Thanks anyways!
