I have 2 - 4" Angelfish in a 30 gal tank with some Lemon Tetras, Harlequin Rosbaras and Cherry barbs. I've lost 2 Lemon Tetras in the last 2 days. I tested my water and everything is in order. Is it possible for Angelfish to eat or kill Lemon Tetras? I know they can eat Cardinals and Neons, but I didn't think they could kill a larger fish such as Lemons. I found the dead fish floating around with it's eyes missing. :crazy:
 
The angels could of pecked it's eyes out once it was dead, how long have you had the lemon fish.
 
I just purchased 3 about a week ago. Do you think that it's something to do with them being fairly new to the tank? They all seemed fine yesterday.
 
Never kept angels I no they can be aggresive, also fish can die in first few weeks if they haven't builded a tolerance up to certain deseases in your tank water.
 
Maybe that's what it is. I just haven't noticed any aggession from them. They seem very peaceful. Maybe they do it when I'm sleeping! Thanks.
