Will a Chinese algae eater be aggressive enough to de-scale angels?
I have had a pair of tri colored angels in my 30 gl. with the algae eater for a few months now and suddenly both of the angels are missing a lot of there scales. They both seem to cower at the back of the tank. I had a dead tiger barb yesterday. It didn't look to have been bitten and had all fins intact.
This tank has a pair of Chinese algae eaters, six glo-fish, the pair of angels and now, one tiger barb. It has been set up for about eight months.
I,ve seen the angels spar together but not to the point of damage.
The algae eater is the bigger of the two in the tank, the other is much smaller and always hides. Can this fish be sucking the life from its tank-mates during the night?
Any ideas anyone?
