Nick Fish Addict 33 Posts: 553 Kudos: 668 Votes: 509 Registered: 09-Aug-2004	Well i've had these Angels for about 2 months now. All has seemed fine until I noticed one nipping at the other. I've read the profile for Angels and it has said how hard it is to distinguish males from females. Are these the only way to tell? What can I do? If anything, or will I have to start from scratch and take my chances I get a compatible pair? Thanks all

So, it might not necessarily mean that they are an incompatible pair. The only way I've been able to tell the sexes apart is when they're actually spawning (by the spwaning tubes). If I were you I'd just keep a close eye on them for a few weeks. If the chasing/nipping continues and it gets worse, then you may have a problem. But give it some time ....

The nipping may be mating or fighting, but usually Angels lock their mouths together when fighting. Enjoy your Angels & keep us posted....... http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/s8xi5heh/my_photos http://www.deathbydyeing.org/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com
