some of my fish

[windfire]

so here are some of my fish. my favourite is the khuli hiding in the wood. its like a peek-a-boo moment lol. can anyone tell me if the two marble angels are a male and female? i suspect they are but am not sure.

Your fish look really great. As for sexing the Angels it is a bit difficult because the pics are slightly blured can you try and post other pics and if at all possible with them both in one pic then I might be able to tell but I am sure the more Experienced Angel keepers will be able to sex them from your pics...

Your fish do look good! It is extremely difficult if not impossible to ACCURATELY, with absolute certainty, sex angels by just looking at them and not their sex tubes. There are a few ways that you could hazard a good guess which include, but is not limited to:
The males are usually larger,
The males usually have a bump on their foreheads,
The females, when looking straight at them, appear 'fatter' just in front of their ventral fins
In some strains, the males ventral fins are feathered

The only 100% accurate way to sex angels would be to wait for their 'tubes' to decend which usually happens either just before they spawn or when other angels in the same tank spawn. The females have a short thick sex tube whilst the males have short pointed one.

thanx guys they spoilt lol blood worm 2-3 times a week and when i put blanched veggies in for the apple snails and pleco everyone climbs in. usually its carrots or lettuce, but recently tried peas. hmmm thats interesting veegal, i think they may need to mature a bit more first they only a couple of month old. when i got them they were about 8cm so they'v really grown well. the new stripey ones are growing like weeds too. would the marbles and striped ones interbreed?

[veegal]

Sounds like your fishies are well fed :D

Yes, angels will 'interbreed' that is to say, they aren't picky and are quite happy to pair up with a marble, a black, a scalare or whatever coloring the opposite sex may have.
