Stunted angel

[thedarkone]

Back in August I bought 4 misc. angels to go into my 55 gallon planted tank with my baby ebjd. Well it's been about 5 months now and all of my fish have grown except for one of my angels. The other fish are growing so rapidly now that it almost seems like the little guy is shrinking.

I'm not sure why he is the only one stunted since I bought them all from the same LFS on the same day from the same tank. I don't mind having a stunted fish I love all my fish the same so it's no that big of a deal. but in the last couple of weeks the other 3 angels (who are now about 4 times bigger than the little one) have begun to beat him up pretty badly. I'm not sure what to do. I would add another angel to the tank(to direct some of the aggression away from him) but I already have 4 angels, an ebjd, and 6 peppered corys in there so there is no room.

I don't have any other tanks to put him in either because all my other tanks contain aggressive cichlids and he wouldn't stand a chance.

Hmmm...Get a rubbermaid tub for him, thedarkone. Unfortunately, we have to expect runts in batches of fish we get. Their terrorizing him is pretty much a seal of his fate that he is the least dominant. He needs to get out of there before they kill him from constant beating up.

I think I will put him in my daughters planted 10 gallon. She has 1 crown tail betta, 5 white skirt tetras, and 4 Albino corys. I don't think my angel will get any bigger so it shouldn't be over crowded.
