I was wondering if anyone had tried just keeping female angels together?

I know there will always be the alpha female, and possibly a "pretend" spawning but the males and females together is what cause all the fighting. I just wonder how 4 females would do together.

Guess it will hardly solve any problems for me as I will still have the 5 males = 5 different tanks for dealing with those. sheesh! I have an ad in the paper to sell some of these pairs but I know it won't happen!

Pairs are pairs be they female/male or female/female.... If you are looking to sell some and know you have viable mated pairs, place them on aquabid. I'm sure someone will want to get them. If you need advice on how to ship them PM me.

I feel like it is my life sentence now because I screwed up and started with 9. I could part without much problem all the females (most) but the males are all so pretty and big. But also my problem children!

$18 for a two line ad and not one phone call. I knew that would happen but am getting frustrated.

Wow. Thanks for all the links. I have copied them for future reference.

I am here in the toolies of northern MI. I don't know another living soul that even has fish. There's my stupid neighbor who has a tank, tho. LOL No fish, of course. You have to drive over an hour to buy a tank if you don't want to get one at Meijers or Walmarts. No fish stores within an hour.

Tropical fish to these "pine-tree savages" are .........pike, trout, bass, carp, walleye and salmon.
