Here is a little help sexing your Angelfish

Breeding information: Egglayer, attaches eggs to plant leaves, or a suitable substitute. They are fairly easy to spawn, usualy by removing the eggs after spawning and raising the fry artificially. Occasionally you'll find a pair that will raise fry on their own. This is preferable because you get to watch the pair protect and care for their fry. Be warned they will be very aggressive when defending eggs or fry. It has been said that Angel fry will feed off of the body slime coating of the parents, much like Discus. Return to:
