- ANGELFISH FIGHT | BEAUTIFUL FISH ARE FIGHTING
The angelfish are well and truly settled into their aquarium. So much so that territories have been formed. This is the first time I've seen fighting between fish and felt it should be shown to help anyone else experiencing the same.

The angelfish are well and truly settled into their aquarium. So much so that territories have been formed. This is the first time I've seen fighting between fish and felt it should be shown to help anyone else experiencing the same.
Back when I thought they were just kissing!
they might be pairing, but just spread the food out and they should be fine. you might need to separate if it gets worse but it being heavily planted will help
Hi mate , I've kept angels before, they definitely get territorial when pairing , but not sure yours are old enough. I believe the best remedy is to keep a larger number maybe 8 or more , that way they quickly tire
and become less territorial .. hope that helps .. love your blogs by the way
I noticed that it gets worse when the male protects the eggs.
Your Angelfish are still very young for breeding, what you are seeing is all about status and dominance. They are testing each other. Normal is for the whichever is submissive to show their belly as a sign of submission and then the dominant one will stop its aggression because point made and dominance is established. Many domestic strains have this trait breed out of them and the more aggressive fish does not stop and continues to beat the crap out of the submissive one.
You seem even more relaxed on these vlogs, you are my absolute favorite on UA-cam! Great skills and incredible personality, hard work and amazing content. Thanks for making me smile.
Hey MD, yes, aggression between angelfish is normal. They make their own territories (usually with a ~50cm radius) and once breeding starts they'll pair off and stay together for life (or until one died/leaves), so you'll see breeding pairs sit together at the corner of the tank. They'll attack other angels that get into that radius, but if you have enough angels in there they won't be focused on one and nothing bad will happen.
If they bully one angel you'll know as he either won't come out of the plants (basically hiding all the time) or will be chased through the tank the whole time.
You can counteract that problem by overloading the tank with angelfish, that way they won't be able to build territories as there are simply too many, diffusing the aggression between them all or by scaping in a way that the territories don't have a direct line of sight.
They'll be aggressive and paired up even when they don't breed. If they get too aggressive you could remove the ones being bullied, though it might be that you have to reduce it to one pair of angelfish in the tank.
MD to the camera : " They only attack when feeding"
Guy Diamond in the background : " u want some , ill give it yea "
haha. I had just fed them to be fair lol.
A bit of fighting is normal. Once in a while some of them develop into real bullies. I had one, also a black one, that was constantly stressing out the others. I had to bring him back to the fish store eventually.
ok, ill keep an eye.
Well, I had three couples growing up together in a 450l tank. They had their small fights, but over the time it became more intense and the bullying meant that one couple was totally detained from feeding, which resulted in their death. The tank was well structured with loads of places to hide and establish territories - so observe the situation and make the sacrifice to sell a few of your beauties when it starts to get more serious... I still have the two pairs and they keep fighting every time they breed - but now there seems to be +/- a balance of powers ;)
Thank you so much for all the inspirational videos, I really enjoy watching them!
your goldfish are making me miss keeping them, like a lot of people i had a goldfish tank as a kid and that got me into the hobby but i just keep tropical fish now, really tempted to get a secondhand 3ft tank or something and get goldfish again haha
yes do it!!
Love this aquascape, it's so peaceful! You should try a scape like "Ikebana"! Loving the videos as always MD!
If you search it in Google with aquascape after it, it should come up!
looks like a cool idea. Will put it on the list.
Just googled it it actually looks really cool
@@OranODonovan yeah, I really love this style!
Hello MH, good idea I would love to see that.
@@ianyork8899 Hello Ian!
Hi MD!
This is Sharon from Michigan in the US. Love your vlog. I am an aquarist for decades and raised and sold angelfish by the thousands to a number of pet stores in my state in the past. Thought I would let you know about what is going on in your tank. Your tank is set up and kept beautifully, so your fish have quickly matured and are getting ready to pair off and breed. They are picking territory to lay eggs. The reason for the "gangsta" battles (lol!) at feeding time is the fish coming out to feed, and trying to guard their area at the same time. Totally normal, but when it becomes obvious who the pairs are, you will have to separate any pair you want to raise fry out of. Your tank is good size, but watch out for fish who might have to be taken out if they are bullied.
So far, your doing great.!
Thanks for your great tips on aguascaping. Your tanks are beautiful. I'm learning a lot. Sharon in Michigan
Mind if I ask you a question about my angels?
Truly a blessing being around your kids while you work, maybe youtube will become your full time job... your family would love that.
5 : 20 Waaaw waw waw waw waw waw😂😂... P.s it's pretty normal between angelfish to keep their own territories and its all normal as long as they dont harm each other to much.. so you're all good mate 👍
ok thanks :)
Tanks are looking great - more goldfish!!!! Yay 😁🇬🇧💚
Yes!!! More goldfish I love my red cap they are fantastic maybe a black ranchu so you the have a great mix of colours in there
I gotta say that I loved the interaction with the kids👌
LMAO
LOVE the sound effects from "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly" 😂😂
Me : showing my age I know that
It is really cool to see how much Ember changed color over time.
Lighting is very different from the previous tank remember.
MD Fish Tanks I know but when you first bought him, he had a lot more black on his body compared to now.
Yeah he was black with orange highlights now he's mostly orange
All the black in goldfish will eventually turn either white or orange, sometimes it takes years for this to happen, sometimes it happens very soon, mostly depending on genetics I'd say.
My angels fight as well during feeding. Outside of feeding time they arent as aggressive at each other even when they are in close proximity. But on and off they do challenge each other as if they are defending their turf, like you mentioned. But most of the time, they are fine....Ohh and btw i keep my gold fish with the angles. In the beginning they do nip on the goldfish but i dont see any damage on them so i let it be for a week. After that it seems like the angles realize the gold fish is not out to challenge or fight them over turf and all is well.
hey u shiould think about a pond with koi would be sick think about it
yeah thinking about it.
Feed any spare duck weed to the gold fish they love the stuff. Great tanks, great vids,keep up the good work.
Oh this is the fun part of keeping angelfish! Yes this behavior is totally normal and usually starts after they're a year old and have sexually matured. The only time you should be worried about it is the bullying. Bullying looks like when the aggressor specifically targets an angelfish and is relentless AND the victim is then constantly hiding and won't fight back ever. If your angelfish spar and they all at least eventually spar back then you're totally fine. If you do find you have a bully, you'll have to rehome the aggressor. If you do get a pair what will happen is the female will lay eggs somewhere (mine did it on the side of the tank) and they'll defend that corner relentlessly. If the angelfish get too stressed defending it (depends on what fish are in the tank, if your fish leave them alone then you might be good. I have semi aggressive nosy fish like a severum so that didn't help) or if the male doesn't figure out how to fertilize the eggs then they'll turn white and the parents will eat them. I hear it can take a few tries for the male to figure out how to fertilize.
My angels are aggressive with each other and the rasboras. Sometimes so aggressive they do a "turn sideways" and attack. Clementine slammed him/herself on the glass in one attack on a rasbora. Lowering the temp to 76 has helped A LOT.
Great vid! Are you planning on making this a full time (giving up your job) thing in the near future?
Normal coffee tastes funny .. it's the other way around :)
In my opinion you should change a part and take off any stone and put some long leaf plants and long branches to make more space.Angelfish likes that.Nice channel 👍
An Oranda and a Ranchu? Soooooo COOL! Can't wait to see what you decide.
I’m loving the growth in your channel, your doing amazing ❤️
I love the goldfish tank. It looks so good! :-)
My favorite coffee is also the cheap one. Haha ;-)
Wow yeah can see the anglefish are a little aggrasive. The black angelfish wants ALL the food for himself MD ;-)
Your room, now that there are fishes on the tank looks Paradise.
I'm having the same issue, i added two new Angels yesterday to my pond, and the other two Angels I originally had in there are being aggressive towards the new additions. They don't mess with the guppies or minnows, but are scaring away the new guys.
Hey MD,
Angelfish are cichlid species they form their territories and one challenge each other to be the boss of the tank, they fight sometimes but its normal, it could be mating ritual, but can't say for sure.
I love how happy u and ur Familie is have a great day man ur one of the reasons why I’m getting a fish tank much love x keep up the good work
Eastside 🤙, Westside 🖖, angelfish respect. 🤜🤛
Female fish seem to be more aggressive against male in my tank. They do mouth to mouth fighting. The female rips at the males fins.
In the past I've always had trouble with one Angelfish bullying in small groups, which is why I would always now only keep a single Angel or at least 7 but 9+ would be even better.
Your water is so clear nice bruv
Angels can be aggressive though. Good job your tank is big. Lol I only used to drink instant coffee like most English people. Then I moved to Canada where most people drink ground coffee. Now instant tastes off so yep absolutely what you get used to! It's such a pity that Axy's are solitary. The goldfish would look so cute would looks so cool with the Ayl underneath.
Once I moved to an auto-feeder to feed a small amount 4x a day, I noticed a decrease in aggression in my angels.
It might be worth a try for your tank.
Totally agree on the coffee 🤘
How many gallons is the angelfish tank.
So amazing video..i experience this things that angle fishes like to fight with each other...your kids are so beautiful and cute ..keep it up ...so amazing work
Yes, definitely get 2 more goldfish. I think they’re so adorable! ☺️
So Beautiful mate ! Love the aquascapes and everything the fish the crystal clear water.. so awesome man love it !
MD, what do you do for a day job? So envious of your beautiful set-ups! These tanks are GORGEOUS, but so expensive. :( Great videos!
Your videos are really beautiful but request you to specify the dimensions of the tank in all the videos. Title of the video says 4 feet but what about height and width. Please reply. Many people in the comments have asked this questions but they were left unanswered. Appreciate your reply. Thanks.
I've never really liked goldfish but yours look amazing and have made me consider keeping them.
The babys is so cure man i love this thanks for the video!
Nice to see you are going to set up a worm farm , don't do what I did and feed too many of the big fat ones to Pancho, they are the ones that breed lol , I had to buy more for my little water piggies , you will also have a nice clean supply of soil for your dirted tanks , good luck with it , but remember worms are pretty good escape artists so have a good lid on your farm ! X
Great video let's hope the fish call a truce and stay in each overs patch lol
Another awesome video man! I think it would be cool if you could show us all your snails :)
More goldfish! Can’t wait 😍
Possibly add more to the school to balance out the agrastion
They ain't gangsta they're chiclids😎 a bit of agro at feeding time is expected I'd be worried if there wasn't. Bullying would be if one was been absolutely relentless stressing to a point of illness or death. A way to avoid the feed time issue is to distribute the food across the surface better so they are not having to cross territory to feed. A black Moor panda would be nice with the crew and red cap. Pearscale will add variety, or just do what you did with Ember shop around and just pick one you really like the look of. 👍
I look forward to watching your video every day after work!! Unbelievable job uploading amazing videos so frequently! :)
I think if you put a quarter of the effort you put in to your fish tanks, into coffee, you would get great tasting filter coffee! Would definitely encourage you to go down the coffee rabbit hole. Especially if you like experimenting and making things.
My angels would have a go at each other at times but it was never a serious problem. They never damaged each other. I think it was a territory or possibly a personal space type thing. I found that tank size was important. I had a 35 or 45 gal hexagon tank. This tank did very well. The shape gave them a deeper tank. Angels like to move up and down. I had around 10 angels in that tank. Then I had a 150 gal tank. The fish all loved it but I had more difficulty keeping the water quality right in the tank. Plus it was much more expensive due to filtration system.
Yes pls! add some more goldfish 😀👍
How about a calico colored one. Combines all the colors. Same size as Ghost and Pumpkin. 👍🍄😃
Haha that’s so funny you like to have odd numbers of you’re fish and I like to hve even numbers of the fish type etc
I have a 75 gal with one paired couple. The female had died for whatever reason, so I decided to get 3 more angel fish which are a lot younger. The big male relentlessly attack the new angels, nonetheless, I had to take out the big male and put him in a hospital tank (10 gals) for now. I feel bad taking him out, but I didn't want him to kill the other ones. Not sure what to do for now. maybe get another tank for him?
Hi, I like your tank display and your channel is inspiring. About corydoras, they should be grown in groups of 6,8 or more if the same specie/variety. They will not die alone , but will behave differently and be healthy in big groups.
Haha your boys are adorable.
I find all angels have quite different personalities. Some are more aggressive than others. Most of the time a little fighting is normal, and nothing really too bad, so I wouldn't worry much. Just keep an eye on them, to make sure that none develop into and absolute bullies who stress out or actually really hurt the other angels.
Again, this doesn't seem to happen too often, but if it does I would reccomend separating that angel from the others, and maybe putting it in a different community tank. I had an EXTREMELY aggressive female angel, but since I moved her to a new tank with just some congos, corydoras, a pleco, and some other fish that aren't angels, she has been absolutely fine.
She's been on her own for years now, and her behaviour towards other angels still hasn't changed, and she is definitely happier without them. Much brighter in colour, and a lot less stressed.
MD you create the most beautiful tanks so you just drink your coffee the way you want to 😂 Jakie "you want to see the worms...nooooo"🤗😂 Henry... Ready to rock and roll with the worms 😂
great video MD...Looks like you may have you some that are pairing up..I raised angelfish years ago( accidentally) after having a similar experience... Looks like you may have some inspiration for a new tank 😂❤️ I hope you and your family have a great day!
Think the angels need naming to have u thought about putting the angels from the house in and putting something else in that one?
Mine are always fighting. Especially when there are eggs involved
I think you should add more angel fish would spread out the agression
Hi MD, I have six Angel fish, all OK, till feeding time, become pigs viscous at that, I don't think you have any worries,.
You need salt water tank. I just recently joined the marine life and am blown away by near unlimited choice of options, colours, fish and corals. Ocean is just incredible.
Yes on one of each for new goldfish!
That's definitely not fully grown size for those Angeles and yes it's normal I have a 6feet tank and two white ones and two false altums like u and for some reason each of one stay on one side on the tank like a false altum and white together totally normal have kept them before so don't worry
na not fully grown for sure. I think I meant reaching maturity, but said fully grown.
" Get off my patch" 😂
The oranda looks like he's going to be fully orange soon!
When you remind us to leave a like I do. Keep doing that, we tend to forget.
Great work MD, but vlog 44, was a couple of days ago 🙃
Man I love your coffee cup and your boys are getting so big how's your daughter
Woww beautiful tanks there so cool :D "D
You have 2 ranchus already. If you want 2 more members, one red cap oranda and one moore would add variety to your tank.
MD, pls put all the Vlogs : No Filter Nano Aquarium Setup(Sparkling Gouramis) in one video.. Tq..
Angelfish fighting is very common, I've had it happen loads, they'll eventually stop, just forming an hierarchy, but I had a pure black one once which constantly attacked everyone else, so had to isolate him.
Food aggression is completely normal with Angels. I have the same issue, I just let them sort it out but observe to make sure all are fed.
"i really love goldfish now" I KNOW RIGHTTTTTT THEY'RE CUTE
I have angels in my tank and in my tank I have pair they laid eggs a couploe times but never succeeded... wathever if the other angels come to close to tje female of the pair then thd male attcks them. I think that is why they attack each other or maybe it is just territory as you said. Graet vlog as akways!
Angels get larger than yours are at the moment. And once they pair off... you may want to take the others out. ;)
My angels the opposite completely 😂😂😂😂they are friends when eating but only passively agressive when not feeding ..maybe cause they all siblings
Awesome video as always mate. But i was just wondering. Would you be doing like an monster fish tank in the future? Maybe like an Arowana or a Gar?
How are the pea puffers
Get one black oranda along with a red cap
I've got this Bullying' problem with my goldfish , so ive added a divider into the middle of the tank making 2 sides. 👍
Md make a terrarium
Hi md what’s the thing that you use to clean your tanks glass?
@@Crest97 yeah that's right
This is completely normal. Remember that they are cichlids which can be scrappy. Just keep an eye on them and be prepared to move someone should they get to the point of damage. It doesn't often come to this but occasionally it does.
As a coffee addict, I take offense to your instant stuff. 😂 jk. Try the Kroean whipped coffee if you haven't already!
Nice video mate and I am the same with the Coffy lol tanks looking the nuts as always md you will have to pop in mine soon mate show you my big ass koi now we can travel again
I clean my tank every week but moss don't finish. Who your tank it's clean and with out moss. and you have crystal water
I had four large black angels who were constantly fighting. They lock their mouths together and have a sort of"tug of war" contest. Unfortunately two of them had their lips ripped off and died of their injuries 😠. I have had to separate the remaining two. Strangely enough they show no aggression towards any other species.
My goldfish were fighting a lot.
Its most times because the tank is to small.. and territories cross eachother.. so either reduce fish or spread food on both territory
MD I notice alot of your tanks aren't covered, do you ever have problems with fish jumping ?
In my store i have had angels that where worst than what you have, the only solution that worked for me was to put the gangster ones with other fishes like like molly, sword tails and stuff.
Instant for me too lol
its probably two male Angelfish determining boundries
