Angelfish getting bullied?

[Chrona]

How well do angelfish respond to getting chased? lol. After replacing my gravel with Flourite, my guppy, who has always had kind of a mean streak, has been chasing my silver dollar size altum angel quite a bit. It used to be an occasional nip that would be reciprocated by the angel, but now it's more like completely one sided chase around the tank for 3-4 seconds every minute or so. The guppy also chases my Siamese Algae eater alot, but my SAE is much faster and never gets touched. I guess I shouldn't have added the guppy first -_-

On the bright side, my cardinal tetras are no longer nipping at my angelfish though!

I guess I may need to return the guppy. I'd feel kinda bad though, because I bought her when she was pregnant, and 4 fry are growing up in the same tank atm (albeit with a divider)

hmmm, i dont think slow graceful fish like angels like being nipped.

Well, angelfish are supposed to be semi-aggressive right? I figured semi-agressive fish coped better with that chasing. The fighting is only during the day it appears. I checked in with just enough light to see and nothing was happening.

i nev3r thought guppies could be aggressive. well, i guess theyll be ok

Well, my tank is from the Twilight Zone it seems. One of my cardinal tetras used to nip at the Angel too...lol

OOOOHHHHHHHH

Turns out my angelfish looks more like a half-black angelfish

Which apparently are PEACEFUL???? lol, what the heck. I need to get a bad-a$$ angelfish that will snap the rest of my tank into line...lol

my wild caught angel could get b*tchy at times, but was often peaceful unless something really ticked him off

Your angel looks pretty. At least the pic of the one that looks like your angel.

I have 5 Pterophyllum scalares (wild silvers) 2 golds and 2 marbles. I'd like to have a couple all black but getting too many now. Breeding has yet to begin!!

Did you know Pterophyllum is pronounced "tare-oh-fill-um". Some of these proper names are about mouthfulls!

Thanks Hobbs

I returned the guppy. All is well again......until the fry grow up? lol
