I know they're not the best pictures but try to do the best you can. I'm having a little trouble sexing this Angelfish. Could you guys please help me?

I've heard that it's virtually impossible to sex angels.

Even if they pair up and lay eggs, it could actually be two females. The only way to know is to have a spawning pair who actually end up with babies. (Or so I've heard).

Nice fish though!
 
You can't tell just by looking at them. You have to vent Angels.
 
I go by a couple different things and its hard to describe to someone but by going by that pic I would have to guess female. Now before everybody starts telling me they cant be sexed my record is 80%+/- at least when I can sit in front of the tank and look at them
 
The only way to accurately determine their genders is when they spawn. The shape of the tip of the ovipositor and its position helps determine which is male and which is female.
