Basically, yes. It will end in the death of at least one, probably both of the smaller angels. The large angel has matured and claimed the tank as his territory and will defend it against other angels and chase them away. Sicne they can'trun far, they will be killed. Your only solution is to remove them or the large angel from the tank.

Angel fish can be aggressive towards one another as they ar very Territorial........ out pet shop advised a single Angel or a group of 5..... they say you get most problems with 2 or 3 together. we are getting an Angel soon and Will only get 1.....
mind yrs ago my dad had 2 smallish ones in a 6ft tank and he had no trouble from them but they seemed to have an invisible line halving the tank and neither went into the other angels part.......

Ditto to magic. The only possible solution you might find to work is rearrange everything in your tank. I've got cichilds too and even I sometimes forget you can employ this measure when adding new fish. Like magic said, the bigger pretty much feels he has this tank to himself. If you move everything around, it can help the bigger angel feel he's in a new tank and new boundries will form. However, depending on the size of this tank, it may not work if the overall tank space is too small, but you can try.

they will probably kill it, big fish do that to smaller ones. i have 2 fantails, a medium sized and a small one. when i bought them, they were the same size. the one thats small now has a bent fin and one eye, he was like that when i bought him (wal mart) and the bigger one rarely bugs him, they are good friends. if the fish are different sizes and bought from the same store at the same time they should get along, but thats not always the case. my stepmoms fantail killed the telescope eye and the other fish in the tank within a week! you have to take the small one back unless they start getting along. good luck :)

Try it. If you see any aggression( not curiosity) take'em out. Angels are pretty aggressive so don't be surprised if they chase the little guy to death. With two of 'em they can "tag team " chase 'em stressing him to death, so be careful and if you do put 'em in make sure you have the time to watch for while. If your considering buying a new addition and adding it, just don't.

angel fish should be kept in pairs or more than 6 they don't do well with odd numbers the bigger a angel fish gets the more aggressive they can become,
take out the baby angels

could I initiate via skill of recommending against the african dwarf frog? I had a betta, a ghost shrimp, a stay plant, and an ADF in a tank on the comparable time. All regarded right, to boot the undeniable certainty that it is incredibly no longer subject-loose to feed ADFs thinking they have detrimental eye sight and require a sinking nutrients. One evening i've got been given here for the time of it ingesting my ghost shrimp. Then it ate my stay plant. Then it tried to eat my betta. She had all her fins ripped off via skill of the frog and died of a secondary an infection. no longer exceptionally to computer screen. The corys ought to be plenty extra advantageous helpful tank friends, yet regrettably a 5 gal isn't sufficiently vast. cory cats choose for to be in communities of three or extra advantageous, and there is no longer sufficent floor section in a 5 gal for them to have a appropriate college. have you ever considered shrimp? Ghost shrimp and algae ingesting shrimp are great betta tank friends. Ghost shrimp are sufficiently vast to ward off being eaten via skill of the betta, yet are unlikely to be agressive and project your fish the two. They eat time-venerated fish nutrients, so sinking some flake nutrients down for them is subject-loose, they %.. it up from there. they easily have a low bio-load so which you will have the skill to opt to unload a 0.5 dozen in and not have a project. In with my betta I easily have some malaysian stay bearing snails. they are exceptionally neat and stay small, yet get 2, and you will without delay have a inhabitants. Any particular reaso you do no longer opt to your betta in a community tank anymore?

Any time I've had angel fish they beat the crap out of everything in the tank pretty much. They're mean little guys.

Saltwater - It is not suggested that you have more than one.
Freshwater is ok.
