Yea, but mainly if you stay on top of the water parameters and keep it clean then there not to bad, given that you get a healthy fish to start with that seems to be the biggest challenge around my area because not to many LFS around here know how to care for them.
P.S. This site needs a spell check on it's posts so I don't have to edit all off my posts.HAHAHA

If you have a mated pair of Angelfish here is and interesting experiment for you to try. Separate the female and the male into tanks in different rooms where they can't see each other. When the female lays here eggs make a note of how they were laid (which egg was laid first and in what direction she traveled in laying each row. Now aclimate the male into the same tank and note how he fertilizes the eggs. What you will find. Amazingly enough, even though he didn't see the laying process he will fertilize each egg in exactly the same manner in order as they were laid, with the first laid egg fertilized first and the last egg laid fertilized last. Thought you might find this interesting.
