Probably - or if similar sized could be two females.

Males are usually larger and easy to tell apart. The back dorsal & anal fins on the males are pointed vs the females are rounded. They are born female and then the largest will transfer into a male.

You probably already have enough information to make your decision, but hopefully I can still help a little. If both angels are medium sized then one being half an inch larger than the other doesn't necessarily indicate a male. You might still have two different sized juveniles or females. Also, just because they're not fighting is also not necessarily a pair indicator. Two males in a 20 gallon tank would definitely be more prone to fighting, but two females may still show peaceful behavior. Check the fins as xroads indicated. I hadn't heard of this trait for sexing before and am glad that he shared it.

Female Male (more pointed fins) Female I'm trying out flame Angels too but I need help. So far this is what I sexed. 1m 2f but they are the same size. Took some tips like the fins but the barring doesn't tally with the literature.

Here is my experience, and I am far from an expert. Lots of live rock for grazing with plenty of hiding places They do better with other fish rather then alone. I would keep them with some Bangaiis or firefish and flasher wrasses. Obviously lots of varied food. I had 3 F & 1 M, and they would come up and beg for food when I would come by the tank.

Just an update. They haven't spawned though. Was hoping that the flame angelfishes were a trio but in the end it's 2m 1 f instead. So the one that turned out to be a male was the top picture which attacked the male. In the skirmish the female was unharmed. In the end removed the male with torn fins. Turns out was a male. Male (more pointed fins) Female

Something interesting happened with the female. Almost a year later she her barring dissapeared.
