It has a black and a white one, and the black one is noticeably shorter. And the white one is sooo long and it has a bend in it. Is this normal? Did something bite the black one shorter or did the white one just grow super long over night?
He is acting completely normal
 
I believe that is normal. Those fins on my angelfish are never the same length.
 
Actually, they should be close to being identical in length and look similar to each other. If another fish bit the fin off, it's understandable that they are different. If they are different from birth, then it's a genetic flaw and an undesirable trait to most Angelfish officianados.
Neither is a problem to the fish's health so don;t worry about that. You can go to the AngelfishSociety.com and see what a "normal" Angelfish should look like.

Hope this helps
 
Okay, thanks everyone! I'll keep a an eye on it, and have been putting healing stuff in there.
