I want a silver one too! Haha
I have heard from multiple sources that the pure black strains tend to be a bit more aggressive. Don't know if thats true, but thats what I have heard. I think they are lovely though. I have a marbled veiltale and I picked out the one that looked the blackest.My mom had black koi angels nd they were cool!!!!! But im hoping to get some. Darn tank has to cycle first....
Personally, I love angels. But, I do understand what you are saying. They often do not stay the peaceful community dwellers that people often think they are.I'm officially anti-angelfish. They've destroyed the blyxa in one of my tanks. I've also got a pair in my 150 that are aggressive as all get out. Seriously, everyone always says this or that about them when they're juvies, but when they're adults, things change.
op=Original poster. Hobgob is just making sure the original poster doesn't get annoyed for getting off topic. But, this thread is about all the aspects of angels, so I think it is quite appropriate to answer here. IMO, there is not a reliable way to tell angels genders apart unless you see them breeding. Sometimes, males get a sort of hump on their head, but I have not found that method to be reliable since not all males get it and I have seen females with funny shaped heads.Is there a way to tell? I dont think so.. And what u mean abt op?

Nope. They are definitively not brighter or more active. I have never seen any behvaioral differences in mine except that the females tend to guard the eggs closer while the males tend to guard the perimeters of the territory more, but even that is just a generalization and not always true.Oh thanks! And ya i want angels so bad. Are males brighter and nore active...?
