| New guys  ,
Went shopping today and passing by one of the LFS told the kids and wife lets go see the fishies. The wife pulled over(I can't drive yet cuz of the knee surgery) and took the kids inside and I notice the wife had the eye fixed into the Angels. So she asked me several times which ones I like the most so I told her but I said you know they are too small to find the sex yet right? So we tried to find two that were what we think is a pair but we'll see.  |

Here's the link on Sexing Angels | I know But they are on the QT tank and it won't be any good to take a pic since is a Clear plastic container is not going to look ok. I promise I will post some as soon as they are ready to the big tank. |

| So far you can't see any breeding tubes because they are to small. The only way is that one of them has a huge top fin and the other is way smaller and looks like it will have a small hump on the head. |

| Aww, well,I think they look great. I love the elegance of angels.
I think Shawnie had said you'd have to wait until they're a bit older to sex them. |

| I don't know that much about angels, what variation (maybe not the right word) are they?
I hear that if they're always together and have watched them in the store like that, it's a good sign.
I'm thinking once I get my 30 long set up to move my gourami and marauding pack of guppies there, maybe get an angel or 2 for the 30 thats a bit taller. |

| Pretty babies 
They look a lot like Marble angels, If they have yellow or orange on the head region they are probably gold marble
