You would think I would get better at this since I am on my 3rd pair of angels, lol, but I haven't. This pic of my pair is a little old. They have not shown breeding behavior yet, but I am thinking they are getting to about that age....

They are in my 75 gallon community with a lone female marbled angel, and they have not shown any aggression towards her. They are both wild caught scalare angels and are about 3.5 inches right now. If anyone could help me sex them I would really appreciate it. One of them appears to be full of eggs at the moment, so I think at least one is a girl. I just want to know so that I can anticipate what to do with this tank. If I have a pair, I will get a male for my lone female, but if they are all females, I will just leave them be

It's hard to sex Angelfish based on physical features.

Your pair of Altum Angelfih is absolutely gorgeous!

They are soooo Gorgeous. If they do end up spawning you know who wants some babies.

Thanks Carol

Thanks Pepe They actually aren't altums, they are scalare angels which look very similar. I know its hard to sex angels based on appearances (which is why I can never manage it, lol), but some members here have given some very good insite before when I needed help sexing angels and some people really seem to have a knack for figuring it out

Thanks Cesch! If they do end up spawning of course I will send some your way
