I just bought 3 Scalare Angels from my LFS.
They're so beautiful!
Just wondering if anyone has ever kept these, and what their experiences were like?
Thanks

Oh! Also if anyone knows how to sex them, that would be great.

From my own experience, angels (Pterophyllum scalare) grow to be rather large but pretty fish. Generally, they're peaceful towards tankmates, and my last pair (I miss'em) took food straight from my hand. They are cichlids by nature though, and as they matured they were a bit territorial. What kind of tank do you have them in?

They're in a planted 90 Gallon tank, just got them today. The LFS said they were wild caught also.
