All 3 angels introduce together?

There's a few way of doing..one way is to catch the emperor n put in beta box or sump tank, let the 2 angels acclimate 1st..

Agree with bro Kenyee.. isolate the bully for a week or 2.. let the 2 angels get bolder and feeding to get stronger.. then release the bully back.. hopefully it will get tamed..

Bicolor introduced 1 week earlier. Other 2 at the same time.

Have trouble catching the emperor.

Any other options?

Can share ur tank pic?..maybe try using fish trap..or do a minor rescape to distract the bully fish..

How you big is your tank ?

use fish trap since the emperor is outside feeding, place the food slowly near to the trap and all the best of luck to you. I hang his favorite seaweed in the fishtrap and he goes in and out. So I have no problem

Manage to get the emperor out. Other 2 now happily swimming in the tank. But Bicolor not very responsive to food instead just nips at my Snails antenna. ..

How long before I can release the emperor back into main tank?

I'd give it 2 to 3 weeks or so.. but it really depends on how well your other 2 angels are adapting to life in the display tank.

Make sure your Bi COlour is very stable first ....

Emperor more than often likes to chase others ..

I have never been successful with Bi Colour due aggression from others.

Always the same result... refuse to eat. Sigh ...

Haha same here, shy fella I suppose. So I stopped trying for the bicolor.
