Territorial. Young specimens will shoal but

The fish are greedy - do

and log roots to swim around.
Supplements diet with some vegetable matter
(lettuce, spinach etc.).
The fish fairs better at higher
temperatures. |

I had 5 Angel fish from
young and they paired off really well and tended to change their partners on
regular occasions, the only problem came was when they laid eggs every other
fish in the tank came under attack particularly the smaller ones and the other
angels that hadn't laid eggs - it became a real mess, in the end I gave the
Angels back to the pet shop.
