Community fish info?!?!?

[Oscar84]

Hey guys...umm as you can see in my name I normally have sicklets and i love em!!! But I got a small 30 long that i wanted to get some mollies and maybe an angel or too and some neon tetras etc. Can anyone give me some info on these guys on male female etc. Especially with the angels. I know that the mollies have the swordtails for the males and females dont. So if you guys could give me some info ANY would be appreciated!! THANKS!!! ;)

it’s very hard to sex angelfish . to ensure a mated pair buy several very young angels and allow them to pair themselves . angelfish apparently mate for life . between 6 - 12 months they will become mature enough to breed.

A 30 long is not good for angelfish. They need tall aquariums to allow them to grow normally. Mollies and tetras would be nice together in the tank. But neons are quite small so I'm not sure how they would fare with the mollies. I dont know about sexing neons either. But male mollies do have the gonopodium or whatever its called....
