Can you possibly get closer pictures? Exactly how big are they? The Gold looks very young.

Since they like to be in the back corner, you will need to win their trust. Basically a new fry born at owner's place. They are pretty friendly. However, a new purchased angelfish takes time to socialize with the owner. Some of them do get friendly pretty fast from the very first day, But most of them are shy. Please get a closer picture with complete body view. Also the silver ones's are little hard to judge. Also could you please tell me their behaviour? Who does what and who chases who. etc.

You would just be guessing until they try to actually breed. There's no sure-fire way to tell with angelfish just by looking at the body/fin shapes.

Well Zevyn I agree with you. but I have raised fry's for 3 years and and 2 of my huge aquariums are in my bedroom. So I spend day in day out with them, observing and looking which gives me certain kind of peace. Most of the time I judge from the behavior and so far luckily its been 99% accurate. Only once I couldn't, because he died too early. So I was thinking its a male from his behavior. I would be really happy, with the detailed picture and their behavior at the same time. Also apart from that judging a fish is a fun part too and later when you find out that you were correct it makes you even more happy.
