Help Finding A Breeding Pair At The Lfs

[drango91]

i want to buy a breeding pair of angels, i remember seeing some angelfish tetra type fish that i liked they were about 1-2 inches big if someone could help me find a site about them thye were mostly white bodied fish i think blue faces, anyways, how can you get a breeding pair of angelfish if you cant tell their sex? do they follow each other side by side?could i get some sort of guide here?

It is very difficult or impossible to tell when they are young. To get a breeding pair you should buy about 6 juvi angels, and as they mature there will probably be atleast one pair. Then you have a pair of angels and can return the rest to your store. It is also possible that they will form more than one pair, in which you could probably sell it back to your petstore for credit or something.

If you have money to burn; http/www.angelsplus.com/pairs.htm

If you have less money, bid on a pair; http/www.aquabid.com/cgi-bin/auction/auc...cgi?fwangelfish

If you find a local breeder they will sometimes have fish that paired that they don't need. I sold a couple proven pairs of hybrid blacks a while ago, I have a gold female that just spawned with a koi male. Once I get a koi female, which shouldn't be too long, I will have a spare male. Put the unneeded male & female together, pull a spawn, & if the fry survive they are a proven pair I don't need. They will get sold, many breeders do this.

but what about seeing thme at the lfs do they always swim with each other?

i think its unlikely they will bond properly in the lfs your better getting juvis like they said

yeah unless they're adults and sold as them I think it's highly unlikely they would have formed that sort of bond to get a bedding pair at an lfs. I'd say do what space monkey say's
