Breeding pairs

[Adrian Rodriguez]

I want to get some red koi angels and raise them up so that in the future I can get a breeding pair from them. But I am not sure how much angels i should get to hopefully get a breeding pair. How much should I get? Could five angels be ok?

I would feel almost certain to get a pair out of 5 or 6 juvenile angelfish.

odds of getting at least one Male and one Female depending on number of fish (assuming 50/50 m/f ratio):

# fish	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8
M+F odds	0.0%	50.0%	75.0%	87.5%	93.8%	96.9%	98.4%	99.2%

I guess I should have said "I would feel 94 - 97% certain to get a pair out of 5 or 6 juvenile angelfish." 🙂

I buy (6) at a time to grow up and usually end up with a pair or two.

I would get 6-8 angels and you should at least get a pair.
