Has anyone heard of a male fish turning into a female fish

What species? Marine fish like clown fish and anthias can change gender.

I have read that platys start off as female and than either stay female or change to male. I thought I had a female for a long time and then bam she was now a he!

I read a story about a male molly that turned out to be a female and gave birth several times. I remember a story of a female peacock turning into a male. Nature is amazing.

Salt water fish like clown fish among others and freshwater fish like angels among others all start out as males and once a group has been formed the dominant male changes into a female it's his/her way of making sure all offspring are his/hers this is why they recommend to have only odd numbers of angels and clown fish.

So if I have 2 male angel fish one of them will turn in to a female? I have heard that it happens the other way around with other fish, plus how can u tell with angel fish if its male or female?
