I have to Angel's I no one is a black lace the other is very close to the same one black one grey. I don't no if there a pair or not hard to tell. They never leave each other and all way's protect one another. I have seen them cleaning one of the under ground filter pip's but then stoped to day we watched them kissing.There is another new tank mate we had to add. We needed the empty tank for free swimmer's. The one is very meen to all the other's but one.
What do I do to see if the black is male or female. And how do I stop the new one from being so meen

well my freind has a angel pair and when a spawn is close they do the kissing dance and the male gets a tad peckesh on the feamales tale,and they clean the slate like crazy,then after a couple of days of that type of behavoiur,they spawn on the peice of slate(floor tiles),this only happens like 2 times a year,and when the eggs hatch they remove the male,cause he sits down to a big meal on the kids,but this only the case with my mates angels,yours could be different,i just thought it mite help as for the fella who is being mean,thers not much you can do if 2 fish just take a disliking to one another,or one fish just dosent like anyone in the tank(had a salvini like that a while back),there are a number of ways you can try to combat aggresion,u can turn the temp down a few degrees,but i dont recomend that 1,you can put the aggressor in a qt tank by himself,or you can leave the aggressor in the tank,but use a divider to keep him seperate from the others,theres heaps of ways but sometimes they work and sometimes it dosent,its gone both ways for me,it worked well b4,but then another time it didint work at all,when i put the aggressor back in,he just picked up where he left off..but good luck....
