Good to know. (even though chances are that I'll never get an arrow). Angels can be tricky fish. You never know how they'll react. A breeding pair can terrorize a 120 tank a push everybody to one little corner. Or they can put a much larger fish in their place...…….below the angels. However I have two males in a 36 bowfront and they are the most passive fish in the world (although I may move one of them). It depend on the fish.
Yeah I don't ever recommend aro's, truly monster fish they really need a big tank (like minimum 400 gallons or a tank at least 6 feet long) and knowledgeable care. As for angels, although they don't look it they are still cichlids. Semi-aggressive and intelligent enough where each individual fish is different in personality. They aren't as tough as other cichlids but can definetly hold their own if they have the size. I had 5, none of them paired up though and eventually I rehomed them as well to a friend who had a 240 community tank.Good to know. (even though chances are that I'll never get an arrow).

Yes.
I'm shocked. Out of 5 you Never got a pair?!?!?! Were there any 'couples' at least? That's extremely rare not to get a pair out of 5. However that is a good thing for group dynamic. And a cichlid is always a cichlid. Just like discus.
The 5 were of varying sizes, and they always moved as one large group. Occasional in-fighting but nothing serious. I only kept them for 3 years though so I believe only 2 or 3 reached adult size.
That's doesn't seem right. They can take about a year to grow to maturity. They will show signs of compatiblitly with a partner before that though. Unless you got them at all different times. Which then it's a miracle that the older ones didn't demolish the smaller ones.
I like the marbled or koi?, I got 3 before the other 2, the three I first got were the size of what you have in these pictures. The other two were the body size of a 50 cent coin. I don't have many pictures but here. I guess I didn't have the right conditions for them to breed, I didn't have live plants.
Thank you! He's my pride and joy of that tank. Gold marble. No blushing gene that koi's have. Then you had 3 adults.
The adults might have been all one sex then. Although a younger one will pair with an adult and they will breed when they younger one matures. The younger ones look about 9 month old there.
If your asking about the pelvic fin in the first pic, I received it like that ( it had one very long pelvic fin and nothing in the other), p sure I had 3 high fins, 2 standard are they called like silver or striped sorry don’t remember been a bit since I had angels. I got all these from petsmart p sure.Thank you! He's my pride and joy of that tank. Gold marble. No blushing gene that koi's have. Then you had 3 adults.
What happened to the pectoral fins in the fist picture? The second pic looks like a high fin. But what srain is it?
Oof. Yes pelvic. My bad.
Damn really, yeah I'm not the best with angels either but I guess I lucked out, got em for real dirt cheap from petsmart. Too bad I don't have them now. I kinda just have a 55 gal with a parrot fish and some random tetras and a 125 with a JD, 2 firemouths, a featherfin catfish, danios and tetras
