I purchased a second female Watanabe angel with the hopes that one would turn male. Unfortunately the one that came in was almost as big as my current female. Is this just a dominance display or is the second female going to be beaten up?

They will sort out the pecking order, then the dominate one should transition.

Yeah definitely not going to work out. The established one beat the crap out of the new one. She had scratches all over her body. She found a tiny hole to hide in and hasn't come out. I managed to catch the established one. I'm just going to move her to my other system and hope the new one recovers.
