Is it normal for an angel fish to get more vibrant colors as it grows bigger? Mine now has orangish lines on its body and neon blue dots all over its dorsal fin.

Yes and especially when it gets to spawning age.

Luckly I only have 1. How do you tell the difference between male and female?
Tom

Butterfly

When they get ready to spawn their breeding tubes will drop. A female has a breeding tube that looks like a pencil lead, the male looks like a very thin pin. You can't tell when their not spawning what genger they are.
