Can you sex my Angelfish?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Head shape is a myth. Both males and females can develop a large head hump. The only good way to sex an angel is by the papilla.
 
there are a few people who have been breeding angels for a very long time, that can make very accurate guesses, and who are rarely wrong if you could find one of these they could probably make an accurate suggestion!

but not matter which sex very beautiful!
 
I have fairly good luck with guessing sex on angels by looking at them head on and looking at the fullnes of the lower abdomen. This is to say if given a group of mature angels I can generally pick out a pair. Males tend to have more of a V shape compared to the females U shape. Also, males tend to be the larger more aggressive fish in the bunch. Not 100%, but it has worked pretty well for me in the past.
