Answer 1

The reason you aren't able to find any information on sexing angelfish is that you can't do it until they're near spawning - then you need to look at the differences in the breeding tubes (male's is pointed, female's is rounded or blunt).

It's possible you have two males that are fighting, or you may have a male and female just agressively courting - with cichlids, it can be impossible to tell the difference.

About the only way you're guaranteed to get a pair is to start with 4-6 fish, and let them grow up together, then start separating them into other tanks as they pair off themselves. To do this you really need to have a fairly large tank, since they'll become more territorial as they grow, and they're sensitive to poor water quality. An adult pair should have around 30 gallons. You don't mention your tank size, so no one will really able to tell you if your tank is overcrowded, but if it is, this could be why your fish are not getting along well, or be the cause of the ones death. It's also best to have them all around the same size, or the larger ones will pick on the smaller ones.

Answer 2

My breed substitute into created just to maintain me waiting on them!!!. heavily, they're fairly between the oldest, if no longer the oldest historical breed. they have DNA of the comparable era using fact the wolf and coyote.(30,000 to a hundred and fifty,000 years in the past) they look like a 'organic canine' and are called by the natives of their origins, as Noah's canine, as they have been around as long as their common history. So, what have been they bred for? properly, they have been used to seek. i'm uncertain that they have been formally 'bred'. They hunted gazelle and leopard.. They have been additionally herding canine, and nevertheless have reliable herding instincts. They have been in no way fed by their masters, yet set loose to seek at night, for their own sustenance. They have been sheared each 365 days, on the comparable time using fact the flocks, and their hair substitute into used to make headwear and undies, because it substitute into softer than wool, and had no smell while moist. an exciting actuality, that has stored the breed organic over the various generations. The women will rarely breed with yet another breed. different breeds do no longer understand their pheromones, and the girls tutor no activity in the different male canine. Many women are unswerving to their first mate, and could no longer mate with a canine who's a stranger. the only time you get a mixed breed, is that if the two have been raised at the same time ( %.) or an occasional thinking male. at present, they're used for predator administration and the sport of lurecoursing...and coaching their proprietors staying power!
