No need I worry. That is just her papilla (breeding tube/egg depositor). It comes down when she is ready to lay. Drop a male in and they just might spawn. She can and will lay without a male to fertilize, though.

Swollen is a understatement to put it lightly

Just moved her out of my community into a holding tank with the a angel that has been exceptionally aggressive the last few days. we will see what happens...

I completely understand. I have a mature pair that spawns once a month. They skipped last month and she covered the entire surface of a large mag float with about 400-550 eggs today. So I can relate, LOL!

Just attempted to drop my other large male in with them incase #1 did not get the job done. 4 minuets of pure attack later he went back into the community tank for his own safety.

I have a black female angel that has her papilla permanently down and swollen too. Once she got mature, the first time she laid eggs, her tube never went back up. Hasn't caused her problems yet. Seems to be an inbred trait of super black angels. Just keep an eye on her.

Correct me if I'm wrong but the other trait seems to be aggression, I've experienced it and Doug also had a pair where the female was ready to breed and beating up her partners.(I believe he tried different males)

If angelfish want to pair up, they fight or look like they are fighting. If one looses and runs away, they never form a pair. If they spar and both hold their own and don't run, they form a pair and will spawn together. Apparently the aggression or sparing or fighting is part of the process to choose a suitable mate. At least that is my interpretation.

Now that when I think back to when my GPS angels paired up, they did do this and the other male was killed.
