No. With same age fish, the males are usually the larger of the pair. Does it always have to be that way? No, but in some cases, if the smaller male cannot due his "manly duties", the female can have a much easier time beating the crap out of him.
Don't get me wrong, they can beat up the larger males pretty good as well. But when creating pairs, I would suggest putting a larger male in with a smaller female.

Pretty good! Moving around a bit, apparently they ate a little bit, in fact the female seems hungry, she's been nibbling at stuff all day. Doesn't seem to be any complications with the missing scales, so I'll just remove the salt with regular water changes unless something pops up.

Wow, the male grew almost all of his scales back overnight! Never seen anything like it. Female grew a lot too but not quite as much. Both look pretty good this morning, just very skittish.

Yay... They were so much fun to watch. Im just amazed at how flawlessly the shipping went. I was worried as hell when they said no guaranteed overnight to Maine.

Yeah I had a panic attack Tuesday morning when it was still listed in KC just like the previous disaster. But they seem to be no worse for the 2 day wear. Now, no more shipping until April!

I would even go as far to say no more shipping fish until May. Warm weather all around compared to April.
I'm happy for you three that they where delivered in a timely fashion this time.

Probably a good idea, actually. Last year we had snow into May.
Poppa, do you know how old these guys are? They're the biggest of all our angelfish, including Flint who is around 15 months old.

Plants I'd say could be shipped February through December, but fish would probably be best May through November. Avoid the cold and the holiday rush

In Maine it's more like June to October Even May can be frigid sometimes up here.

Wow
Flint may be a bit of a runt... Petsmart angelfish, what did I expect.... And the orange koi pair is still growing, they must have been really young.

Couldnt be too young or they wouldnt be spawning.

Yeah. But maybe they were sold as a brand new pair? Would explain their long gaps between spawning.

It would go a long way as to explaining all the pairing behavior we saw when the originally arrived
