Angel Fish Sex

Question
Is there a sure way to tell the Sex of an Angel before they start to breed? What size will they start pairing off? I have no way to tell how old they are.

Answer
Hey Ron,

It's pretty tough to sex angles, and the best way is to get a ton wait for a few to pair off and take the rest back. They'll pair off at various sizes pending breed, and water quality, and temperature, and many other factors. In ideal circumstances, I've had luck pairing off 3 inch to 5 inch fish. However, i'm almost certain that by saying this, everyone will object and tell me i'm wrong. This is just my personal experience. If it doesn't work for you, i'm sorry.

the site below is a good baseboard for you to read through and expand from, though!
