Default Angles seem sad :(

Hi
I am really not sure where to post threads!
Angelfish newbie topic?
Is this it?
I moved my 2 koi adults to a 125ltr /33g tank by themselves.
They have become very quiet, and boring, and perhaps bored.
The 310ltr/82 g got white spot, so i whisked them out.
I was told by shop they are a breeding pair, but I met the previous owner, she said they have never bred.
They look like siblings, honestly.
They dont seem happy in the new tank. they do what can be either spawning behavious or aggression.
They had a full on gravel up fight one day. One is often hovering over the other jutting forward, until the other retreats. Often picking at coat of other, nudging, so I'm not sure, but they dont look like they are spawning or will.

Do you think they miss their old home.
Do you think they might have been pairing up with another, and I have separated them?
I thought these 2 were a pair so was trying to make it good for them to be alone.
There were 7 angels including them in the 82g tank.

They might not like the smaller quarters?
I added some platy smalls this morning, but even they are just hiding.
Which is not like their character either. I reared them and they were always feawrless. but maybe the size of the angels has scared them?

think I should put them all back together, the angels?
I dont think d gouramis get on with them either, like I have read.
So maybe I will change their places.
7 angles, 4 gold rams. thats what will be in there.

thanks for thoughts.

they may not like the tank or each other that happens. I think you have a good plan to change the fish around

Add some baby guppies or other small feeders. I put small zebra fish in my 55. This will eliminate any depression issues. Your angels will come alive. Fins open up wide and your angels will move.
