I read that they are hard to sex so you may wait until a pair happens.

Hi darrellg...can you get better pics of their entire bodies with finnage? impossible to tell with the pics above (or at least for me LOL )

darrellg1

ok shawnie ill get some pics for you now

Gender : There are no visible differences between the male and female. Only at spawning will you be able to tell the male from the female. A female has a round "tear-drop" shaped breeding tube and a male has a cone shaped breeding tube.

I got that from the angel profile care but I'm sure Shawnie will sex them for you.

if you quoted from another site, please edit and include their link eiginh

and I can only sex them according to my experience with mine...and although their breeding tubes are the best way, there are other ways but not as reliable (ask navyscuba's!)

His quote is from our AngelFishProfile
It's still is good form to quote the source, even if it's from here.

Lucy

Shawnie

wow nice flash darrell LOL
heres my 2 cents..
pic 1 no clue...flash took over
pic 2 is a nice lookin gal
pic 3 is a handsome man
pic 4 looks to be a girlie
pic 5 looks to be younger and a girl...
I cant be certain on any identifications, but from my experiences with angels and their breeding, thats my guess all of them are beautious !
ty lucy!! wasnt sure where it was from and copywrite issues are very important as we all know

Lucy

I peeked and got lucky lol

darrellg1

thank you lucy and shawnie for your much appriciated help just another question if you can answer it angle in pic 1 and 5 keeps going between angle pic 2 and 3 as angle pic 2 and 3 charge at each other all the time angle pic 1 and pic 5 is near one or the other is this common?

Shawnie

not sure if lucy got lost but I did LOL
angels will pair up and sometimes they will be a f/f ,m/m/ , or f/m combo...but with the pics ive seen, they are still growing up and are starting to pair off which is normal for them to bounce back and fourth like you are seeing..they are finding the toughest of the bunch to decide who will be their mate......you might be able to have more than one certain pair in that size tank, but the way it sounds, you will most likely only have one pair that can behave ......so keep an eye on them all, and the 2 that stick totally together , those will be your pair ..if there are no injuries other than sparing off, lip locking and the occasional chase now and then, id leave them be..but if you aer seeing fin damage or anything else more severe, it might be time to choose one set for the tank
