FS: Japanese Swallow Tail Pair

[MammothReefer]

Hi I have a pair of Japanese Swallow Tail angels, both great eaters. I just picked them up and i'm starting to think they may be a little to large for my 90g. 150 for the pair. I can deliver on monday (i'll be driving from San Diego to Mammoth Lakes, and can stop on the way back home)

Is the male faded because of the QT or is it just starting the transformtion to male?
Its interesting that the male is the smaller fish. Isn't it usually the other way around?

i always thought the female was usually the larger fish.

In clownfish, yes, but in other fish that change sex like wrasses, anthias and dwarf angels, the males are the larger fish.

I believe the male is just starting, I got them as a pair, in hopes of putting them in a 90, they had a larger male i could have tried to pair the female up to, but was much larger and that was the smallest female there.
