Hey all ! So I made a post a few weeks back about my angels that I thought paird off they took a side of the tank and they would scare everyone away so I put them in there own 30 gallon tank then after awhile of nothing happenening in the 30 gallong I thought I was wrong so I put them back in my 75 gallon tank with my other fish and right away my black angel went nutts chasing my white (possible male angel away) hes always picking on him chasing the white angel away stressing him out badly the black angels papilia is out and the stomic has been bloated a week now he/she spends its time with the angel with orange on its head all the time they nip at the larger marble angel to get him away but sometimes they let him/her around I'm very confused on whats going on i thought i had a pair but now i have NO IDEA whats going on all i know is i see the black angels palpia out and it looks like my white angels a lil wider is it possible i have 2 females the white and the black? they have plenty of plants and places to lay there eggs .. should i move them into the empty 30 gallon tank ? are they even a pair?

some answers would be great thanks guys!:oops:

With five angels I'd think the agression would be not so focused on just one idividual. I only have experience with spawning discus, not angelfish. A pair of discus can spawn in a community tank no problem. Until I actually saw a pair spawning together there was no way I could tell who was male/female. I would think that would hold true for angels?? I really don't know so I should just keep my mouth shut until someone who comes along who knows what's happening in your tank.

no thats right you cannot tell whos the male or female for sure untill you see whos laying the eggs I think they are similar to discus there behavior maybe not i have no idea i just took a video and will upload it on youtube then link it in here so it will help to SEE whats really going on lol

well i thought i could have it uploaded by now but my crappy USB plug in internet is just not working with me keeps disconnecting me i had 1 min left and then it pooped and it didnt even save it ? so now i just cut it from 3 mins to 36 seconds just to show you the bahavior when the whiskers on the angels the bottom )) <-- those are all twitchy what does that mean also? hopefully this video will upload :/

It's possible for two females to pair off and spawn together.:lol:
 
#13 ·
thats true but my black has a wide papilia and the orange head has a skinny lil ' lol and then my white one they are attacking has a wide one
 
#14 ·
Males have a sharper tip on the papilla and it's bent more forward whereas females have a blunt tip with position a little backward. Can you figure this out with the two angels you have?
 
#16 ·
Err...Where is the head positioned? lol Left or right?
 
#17 ·
wow im blonde im like head? so i look at the angel i dont see a head onthe papila OH HIS HEAD! duh

lol it goes like this (<) is his mouth k? <' arrow is the way his face is facing this \ is the way his/her papila is facing make sense? LOL

oh yaya !! /claps so why do you think shes been so chunky for a week? her stomics been really round this whole week and i seen her and the orange head nippin at the leaf and maginic but i doubt any eggs or anythgin will happpen
 
#20 ·
They're ripe with eggs.=/
 
#21 ·
no no no dont get my hopes up its probly just gas you know ? LOL i will be like staring at my fish for days X_X and nothign will happen OH ALSO! the black fish when i got her i put her in the tank and my marble fish went right after her and did the lip locking they did it alot! but now they dont hang out because the orange head is her new buddy what does htis mean!?
 
#22 ·
They paired off.:lol: If your marble x gold angel cross is just as wide as her with the obvious papilla, then expect both girls to spawn but no fertile eggs.
 
#23 ·
:D eeep! how long do you think till this lil missy will poop some lil eggs out ?
 
#24 ·
As to that, I have no definite answer.:? Mine took days before they started spawning.
 
#25 ·
days is better then months :D or weeks so i hope mine will should i put them in the empty 30 gallon tank ? or would that stress them out and they would not spawn if i moved them
