Egyptian angelfish is a common ornamental fish. In addition to differences in external morphology, male and female can also be distinguished by behavioral and reproductive characteristics.
Generally speaking, male fish are larger, have a broader head, longer and sharp lower jaw, and brighter colors in the tail peduncle area , there are 2-3 long filamentous protrusions at the end of the tail. The female fish is relatively smaller, with a relatively slender head, slightly shorter lower jaw, and a shorter tail without filamentous protrusions. During the breeding season, male fish will be more active and will recruit female fish to lay eggs. At the same time, they will pay attention to protecting eggs and seedlings, reflecting obvious reproductive characteristics. In general, through comprehensive observation and judgment, male and female Egyptian angelfish can be distinguished more accurately.
