Black lace clown angelfish

Just some photo updates, they have put on some size since I’ve bought them. I’m quite pleased with their colors so far. They are difficult to photograph

Theirs colors are more noticeable with the naked eye than with the camera

They are getting so big

That is an absolutely beautiful tank! Could you put a palm next to the fish for comparison?

They are all quite small in comparison to my hand. I also have small hands haha

Do you plan to breed them?

I do plan to breed them. I have two blues that I hope are a male and female that pair and then I hope two of my black laces pair, that would be ideal for my group, I would then sell 3 of the extra angels.

Though I feel like I have a lot of males, about 5 of them seem larger and more brutish that two of them.

I know these guys are about 3-4 months old as I’ve had them since December. Yesterday I seen one of them scoot over the glass like they do when they lay eggs. I know this angel wasn’t laying eggs but it seemed like practice lol (maybe I sound crazy) but I am very hopeful!!

Put a piece of slate or tile in their favorite corner leaning up.
Beautiful fish btw.

All are growing well, blue colors are subtle but nice. One group has a nice teal green sheen to them.

The blue clowns seem to have a couple of pin holes on their fins, not sure why or how.

Really nice fish! What plants are in there? I think I see some hornwort (which can produce chemicals that kill other plants). If you're trying to breed them you should use amazon swords.

Plants include giant Val’s, hornwort (doing worse than any of the plants), crypts, some kind of bar sword plant, polysperma (not sure on its full name), Chinese ivy (not really grown yet), and sprites maybe. I have never heard that about hornwort, I have it in three of my tanks and it pretty much only does well in one tank.

Thank you, these are my first angels and I love them!
