The way to sex angels is when the are close to one another, the vent of the male will be narrower then the vent on the female.

It may also be that there are two females laying unfertilised eggs, but if only one is fanning, id assume you have a pair.

If the eggs are not fertilized they will turn white. Most times the male will be the one to fan the eggs.

It sounds like your talking about the papilla or most commonly called the breeding tube. The female breeding tube is more blunt and larger to allow the eggs to pass thriugh while the male's tube will be smaller and shaped more like the tip of a pencil.
