av3206 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 i have a pair of koi angelfish the male is decent sized i would say mouth to tail 4 inches the female is about 1/2 his size. they started laying eggs and were on there 3rd time each time they eat the eggs although the last time the eggs were gone in 24 hours. i am not looking to pull the eggs yet bc i am not ready to deal with all the fry. I also heard they might parent the eggs my hope is to let them at it and maybe one day get a few fry. also in the tank i have a few guppies and 2 cribs. 45 gallon high. ok finally my question the male is constantly fighting with the female. chases her they lock jaws pins her in the corner its super abusive. i am scared for her. her tail fin is always beat up i am constantly dosing metalix each week. will he kill her? i got them as Nickle sized fish in early April I am surprised they are breeding so fast.

Administrators Cory Posted October 29, 2020 Administrators Share Posted October 29, 2020 This is typically what a pair of angelfish do, he could kill her but most likely won't. What temperatures are you running? Sometimes if you cool it down to 74-75F it mellows them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
av3206 Posted October 29, 2020 Author Share Posted October 29, 2020 I have it around 80 five or take a degree. This behavior seems to be amped up before and after the spawn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
