Ged Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 Sexing angels is a hard proposition. People talk about the males being larger, having longer fins and the angle of the anal fin being different. I think the only sure way is to let them sort it out for themselves.

E4G13M4N Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 If they are sexually mature i found by missing a feed for a day and look straight at the head the females will usually still show a bulge when full of eggs, where as the male obviously wouldnt. However its not fool proof as sometimes when ive done it the females didnt have eggs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novafishy Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 Throughout my few years of breeding angels, I find that the males have a very distinctive crown on their forehead. All my males have this bump and during breeding time, have a look at their tubes. Males have a very sharp and long instrument, while the females are quite short and stumpy. You will see the females having large bellies - full of eggs. but this is not always a 100% accurate method. best way , as said is to let them sort it out. how many do you have? and at what size? any chance of pictures?
