Hello I have 2 angel fish, Midnight and Luna (you can probably guess which is which). I was wondering if anyone can tell the sex of them? Midnight was bought beginning of February 2015 and Luna end of January 2016. Based on what I read my guess is Midnight is female Luna is male, hoping someone with a bit more knowledge could fill me in better. Thanks!

Veeeeeery hard to sex angelfish unless you see the tubes down, especially from pictures. If I was to guess I would say they both look female to me.
 
Think about a pencil. The females tube is large and blunt like the eraser. The males is small and pointed like the sharpened end. If they are a male - female pair they will start spawning before too long.
 
Okay thanks that helps a lot. I seen them locking lips at one point but not sure if it was for breeding or dominance. They always swim together and are rarely on opposite ends of the tank.
