LOL This goes on all day.

Why do juvie angels insist they must be with the larger one all day? If the larger one even moves, all 7 juvies are on her tail. Funny as heck to watch.

same with me! I had a large domestic angel with a smaller wild caught one, and:hmm3grin2orange: the wild one insisted to copying everything the domestic one did

that's just too cute. It's like the little one is looking to the bigger one as a mentor or something. Maybe your bigger one gives really good advice like "Listen young angel, when the human comes up to the tank, you must do a dance like this and the human usually drops some food in. It works 90% of the time". :) Hee hee!

The larger one will put up with the 7 juvie's bugging her just so long then chases them to the other side of the tank. They flock around her all day and eventually get on her nerves. They sleep together all night but when daytime comes, it's "get outta here." Kinda like when I was dating. :)

My SD grew like crazy the first 6 months I had them but the growth spurt has slowed right down. I try to see which are males and females but darned if they don't look identical. I can't tell one from another and usually fish have some sort of marking that distinguishes itself or different size or something.

Could be they are all the same sex, as well. I bought 9 Tetra's at once and never got fry from them either.

I have read it has to do with the red on there fins, mine are all the same to, as for the growth, my 1st two tripled in size in the 1st few months, then slowed down, my second 2 are looking like doing the same.
