Angelfish fins - are they damaged??

[Jeremy_fishguy]

Hey crew!!! 
I just wanted to ask a question to try and find out more about my angelfish named aptly “Angel” 

I just want to ask whether this finage is normal? The fins seem a bit jaggered and split, but angels temperament has been nothing but normal. 

Thanks heaps everyone and have a great day ❤️

I think that looks about normal here is what some of mine look like

Mine was very split and ragged when he came home, but his fins healed and he looks like this now. (his top fin was the most ragged and never made a point)

Hi all, Just a follow up to this!

Angel was in a 2ft holding tank after my 4ft shattered on me and I was setting up a new one. She has since been moved to that 4ft and her fins have recovered dramatically!!!! After this post, she had a few slits forming and it really wasnt good! Shes looking very good now.

On a tangent, I finally know angel is a female, SHE LAY EGGS. I was so stoked to find them! Exciting times ahead as I look to a breeding project :))

Ok, so I bought a male from my LFS and I’m happy to announce that patches and angel ARE LOVERS!!! 
We had one batch of fertilised eggs last week which was a bit of a fail (they are all the eggs which I think is normal for the first few times??), but it was so cool and VERY VERY EXCITING. 
 

I just have a question re: pulling the eggs. I’ve got the angels in a 4ft community tank so I know if I want to try and raise the fry without being decimated by my other fish I have to pull them but at what point should I pull them? Last spawn I think they got to wriggler stage, should I try and pull then??

Thanks for the advice :)))
