If you can get a better, brighter profile pic of the Black, maybe I can help.

Thanks for the nod but just to set the record straight, my thread is titled " Wigglers 2 : birth of a hatchery" . The other thread , which I highly recommend anyone wanting to breed Angelfish should read in it's entirety, is titled "Wigglers at last!!!" Pretty much everything you need to know about breeding Angels was discussed on that thread.

To the OP, be aware that there are no guarantees in sexing Angels anymore, short of actually watching them spawn. ( The one laying the eggs is the female. ) Many of today's fish show opposite gender characteristics so even my assessment will be a guess ( granted, it comes from over 45 years of breeding these fish. ). A close up profile of the fish will give me the best chances of sexing the fish for you.
