Unfortunately, Angels and murder beans are never a good mix. the beans love to nip fins and angels just can't outswim them. The little buggers will go through and just kill without eating. I have read numerous accounts of keepers having a tank crash because the beans went through and wiped out an entire population of snails causing the ammonia to spike. I now use assassin snails to control snail populations rather than the puffs. I keep a small group of beans in a 29g and toss a few snails in for them everyday. I also feed frozen brine and blood worms.
I have circled the area of interest when attempting to sex these fish. It really isn't possible until they are ready to spawn. The male has a smale stick and the female a pinkish triangle. Once they pair off be prepaired to rehome any other angels you may own.
Fishguy1978 thank you for the info, I only have the 2 in the photos I have just posted.
for the last week they have been hanging around the filter intake and as I was just looking through the threads for angles I saw some had some eggs so I opted it and the photo was of his angles eggs on the intake stick. My platinum in the photo has been pecking at the intake stick for a few days now.
could this be him / her preparing to lay eggs as I know cichlids do this to stone and slate before they lay eggs
Quite possibly. They don't seem to have any sense when it comes to choosing intake tubes as spawn sites. Mine would spawn on uplift tubes all the time. I only tried to raise fry once. PITA
I think you have two males. Though I could be wrong as angels are notorious for being difficult to sex.
I am however, more positive that the platinum is male. The black one is still iffy and I’m not positive that it is a male (but my vote goes male for the black one too).
