That will depend on the fish. Paired angelfish that are ready to spawn will choose a site, and then proceed to clean it very thoroughly over a few days. The fish should spawn very soon after that. If you do indeed have a mature pair of angelfish, watch for the 'cleaning' behavior, and see if they tend to hover around a certain spot. That might help you tell if they are a real pair. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."
