These are Shawnies angels. Look at the different shapes of their heads. It is becoming more and more popular to sex Angelfish in this way. The first is male and the second is female. Thanks shawnie

well if they literally saw eggs coming from the top one, I mean the eggs coming out, my theory is totally blown because the top is totally looking like a male comapred to the bottom and it has the same tube LOL ...so much for that hahah
