Hi,
For some time, I’ve owned a coral beauty angelfish in my 40B, who has been nothing but trouble, harassing multiple fish to death and nipping at fins. I’ve decided to remove him and trade him back in to the lfs. This decision is tough, however, since coral beauties are definitely one of my favorite fish. This is my second coral beauty, as my first one unfortunately died in quarantine during an ich outbreak. That one was much more peaceful but was also far more finicky with food. I understand that experiences often vary with the individual fish, but am wondering if I should give it another go with a different coral beauty. Do they all become this aggressive with time, or are they generally on the more tame side? Thanks!
