Be Warned though, My black tetra are fin nippers and have killed 8 guppies and 16 zebra danios...Thats why i want to sell them which i am soon going to do, So buy them at your own risk!

No. They should be kept in groups of 6+. Preferrably with plants.

Sexing them is difficult. The general method is either splicing them open and checking out their reproductive organs, or by guessing at their size and whether or not they are fat with eggs or just full.

If 6 angels give you a chance of 95%+ at getting a pair, I'd say with six taht you should get at least one female and the rest males or one male and the rest females.

Hmm...

My normal finned variety is very docile and flighty. They never chase each other, let alone their fellow inhabitants. I guess it all matter on their temperament, but others have had the same results as I with these fish.

And more info would be helpful.
