Well I decided to venture in to a new area of Cichlids! I purchased a pair or marbled angels today. I plan to try and breed these guys. I have never kept angels so figured I would try something new!
Pics to come soon!

I'm guessing they're already sexed?

I don't think I've seen the marble kind before, I've only ever run across the generic ones. I'd be interested in seeing pics.

This was my marbled Angel a few years back.

Hrm. What I know of angels is pretty limited, so all I knew were normal and veiled. I don't usually see them all that often, for some reason.

Is it the black markings that make them marble or is there something I'm missing in that picture?

Marbled are typically white/silverly black and yellow blotched!

Gotcha. Not that I would expect entirely accurate naming from Petsmart, but they're the only shop that carries angels on a regular basis near me. The ones like in the picture they call normal/regular and they have a different type that has a much wider top fin they call veiled.

There are regular, veiled and super long veiled. The difference is the length of the fins!

I'm kinda liking koi angles right now. I dont have any but I'm thinking about it.

If those are the ones with orange in them, they are pretty cool. Pops has some of those, or at least I think he mentioned it. He was far more excited about some albino/blue ones he was trying to breed or something.

Angels are awesome. I had a couple of them, well 6 to be exact, and I absolutely loved them all. I had a male that would take turns fertilizing two separate females laid eggs, guess their not loyal to one girly Razz

But they always ate their eggs Crying or Very sad

When I get my huge tank going I think I would love to have another Angel tank, they are sooo majestic. Do you think I could keep them w/ my Severums?

It might work out but the sevs might be too big and territorial.

Severums get much larger than angels. I would worry about the angels safety with severums.
