silly question about angel fish

[sydney]

I have always wondered and I finaly decided to ask. Do angel fish come in a dwarf verity???

There are always ones that don't grow as big naturally (proving they were in condtions allwoing for growth), but this is not something you will know until they are adults.

What size is your tank?

I don't know if this is what Cheese meant and already said < so sorry Cheese if I'm stepping on your toes....

Some Angels don't get as big, tall, because of shorter fins! My two that just spawned are of the shorter finned variety, and the one I have in my 29 is of the longer finned variety............I don'g get it But there you have it!

LOL Silver, I was talking about natural differences in size between individuals

If there really were "dwarf" angels, I'm sure they'd quickly become a staple of the hobby...

I guess some angels just don't grow as quickly as others . We have 10 veiled angels that we bought at the same time (in January) in the same store and they were all the same size (bodies were dime size). We have two of each: blushing, black, marbled, zebra, and silver. The blushings are now the biggest (bodies about silver dollar size) and the two silvers are still only nickle size. The others sizes are mixed in between.
