I have had my barbs with angel fish ever since I got them (I know people say you should not keep them together but mine had been fine for months) but when I moved all my fish into the new 71/84 gallon tank, which came with fish including 2 adult angels, my barbs have been terrorising the big black one.

I have now moved the barbs into my 16/19 tank where they will live with my corys and I have moved the glass cats, platys and x-ray silver tipped tetra into my biggest tank. So, the barbs won't be able to hassle anyone! My black angel fish's fins are looking a bit nipped and white along the wounds. boom.gif What shoud I use to help them considering the other fish I have in the tank. I have lots of medicine at my disposal and the parameters are fine.

Thanks.

just melafix and good water clarity hun smile.gif if you start to see fungus then use an anti fungus treatment, but be sure to keep up daily melafix and he will be fine smile.gif, dont overdose it though the tropical fish are more sensitive to it than goldfish smile.gif

hope he gets better soon

Sorry to hear about your angels!! sad.gif

Personally, I'd do 5% to 10% water changes every day for a couple of days.....

Bummer that is to bad. I had angels and the lady at the shop I buy all my fish new I had anges and sold me 5 tiger barbs and they killed my two angels the night I introduced the barbs.
The next morning I woke up and was really bummed. My sadness turned to anger when I went back to the shop and told the lady what had happened and she said "you should never mix tiger barbs with angels." I was so pissed cause she new I had angels when she sold them to me. I was new at having an aquarium and chalked it up as a bad experience.
I get most of my info now from books, magazines and the net.
