Sorry, it is hard to tell from your picture, is the one with the red tail a girl? Also, is that a baby angel in the background of the second picture?

Yes the one with the red tail is female and yes that is a baby angel

Awesome! I try really hard to pick out pretty femal guppies. Is your angel going to stay with the guppies when it is big, or does it have somewhere else to go?

There is a very good chance that the angel will eat the guppies once he grows up. It is good that the angel will grow up with the guppies so there is a possibility he will view them as tankmates rather than food, but it there is still a chance that as soon as he is bog enough, your guppies will start to disappear because they are being eaten. It is not recommended to keep any fish with angels that can fit in their mouths. Some people do it successfully, but most of the time the smaller guys eventually get eaten.

What size tank do you have? Angels get BIG

Ok I will keep an eye on them as he gets bigger but he seems to be a nice fish he's never even nipped their fins.

What size tank do you have? Angels get BIG

40 gallons...is that good I got advice from other members that they would be fine in a 40 gallon

 

[Cichildlife]

Yes thats fine good luck!

 

[KeeperOfFish]

Yes thats fine good luck!

Ok good and thank you

 

[Cichildlife]

Yep i thinking bout gettin some baby angels like vaby baby angels and grow em up and then sell em and get some other fishes! Lol

I have 3 angels in my 40 gallon. 3 is not the recommneded number, but it works for my guys. 40 gallons is anough for a pair of angels. I got 3 waiting for a pair, and I got one, but all 3 get along, so I kept them all. I try to keep all their tankmates at 2 inches or so in size.

 

[Cichildlife]

Well good luck. I cant wait to get them they are always so cut and tiny
