Angelfish
are one of the most commonly kept freshwater aquarium fish, as well as prized
for its unique shape, color and behavior. Angelfish pairs form long-term
relationships where each individual will protect the other from threats and
potential suitors. Upon the death or removal of one of the mated pair, breeders
have experienced both the total refusal of the remaining mate to pair up with
any other angelfish and successful breeding with subsequent mates.
The blackspot angelfish can change from a female to male but
this happens for a specific reason....
The angelfish live in groups with a single male, which is blue
in color and four female fish which are yellow in color. The male is stronger
and largest member in the group protecting the others acting as a
"security guard".
When the male dies, the group needs a "security
guard". This is when the largest female fish in the group begins to change
its appearance. She starts growing larger in size and changing its color to
blue. Slowly her behavior changes and begins to behave like a male. Two weeks
later, the black strips appear on her body. This indicates the completeness of
the sex change.
Now she is completely a male~~~
