Glad this thread exists because I recently brought home a pair of juvi gold angels. Nice to see all of these feeding tips! I've noticed that my new angels can't resist from picking at a piece of well established driftwood in their new tank.

got some beef heart and the guy is looking into frozen mysis shrimp for me he wont start a live thing till more people are interested will frozen be good guppy? ill be putting anacharis in the tank hopefully next week im gonna put it in clay pots
i put 2 german blue rams in last night and all looks good so far i also got 2 bunches of anacharis and a banana plant im gonna put a few more plants in too
I don't like frozen brine shrimp because when thet thaw all that is left is juice and shells, the mysis are better because after thawing there is still some substance to them, same is true with the frozen krill which are nice for gold colored angels, it deepens the richness of their color and brings out an amber hue.
ill have mysis shrimp on friday im going back either tonight or on monday and buying the other rams they are on hold for me they are about 2 inches all of them im gonna have 6 total but i might buy the 2 small ones that are in there too and the marbled angel
bought 2 more rams today im gonna try again after i paint the back of the tank next week to upload pictures i cant get them to upload for some reason and when i make them small enougth they are smaller than my avatar ill figure it out but rams and angels do great together
so a ram is mia lost another angel it wouldnt eat yesterday i came home and it was on my filter intake the fish going mia is driving me crazy i also noticed the rams chasing each other is this normal?
Very normal for rams to spar and chase each other, especially if you have two wanna-be dominant males. You might try putting in rocks or some kind of shelter so that subdominant/s can get away if needed. If you start seeing nipped fins, try giving them even more hiding places. If that doesn't work you may have to seperate them. Basically, every male in there wants to establish his own territory and unfortunately, sometimes the dominant male wants the whole tank! This has happened to me twice in a community setting although the rams only picked on each other and not on the other fish in the tank.
It might work to have several rams in the tank (mostly females) to disperse the aggression but I've never tried that myself.
