Angelfish Pairing

[darkleo]

I have noticed some of my angelfish moving around in groups of two and I was wondering if this is pairing. My other question is will angels pair for life??

They could be pairing, that is one of the signs. How big are they? Angels don't really pair for life, but if you kept the pair together they would most likely keep on breeding.

About 7cm. They are also 10 ish months old.

Well I have had angels breed at around 10cm , so it could be pairing off. Keep an eye on them, if you see them defending a area; theres a good chance they are going to breed.

you cant be too sure. pairing can only be confirmed if the 2 angels are starting to spawn and are marking their territory. when this is occurs, they would start pecking at any fish that comes close. from here, you might want to remove the pair or remove the other fishes in the tank
