I've just separated some of mine, there were too many pairs in a tank. You can see how I've got things set up here:

Re: my breeding pair of Angels are both different colors to each other
They're coming on well, well done!
The body shape should 'round up' a bit more as they get older. If you continue to look after them well, they should keep their lovely straight fins as adults too.
I see you've got a thing for angelfish... and jellyfish!

Re: my breeding pair of Angels are both different colors to each other
Also, are you able to estimate how many 'types' of fish which came from that spawn? and do you know their rough numbers? were half like this, and the other half like that. Or does there look to be 3 or 4 types etc? That information should give us an idea of what the parents are. Do any have pink gill plates etc?

Re: my breeding pair of Angels are both different colors to each other
Ok, assuming those are all from the original pair that started this thread we can tell a lot more about the parents now!
1. In photo 3, the top left fish looking right, and in photo 4, the middle fish looking left, are both gold marbles, that means that Dad had a gold marble gene & Mum had a gold gene.
2. There are some very heavily marbled fish (for example the other two fish in photo 4) these have marble rather than gold marble genes.
That means that Dad isn't a koi, but rather a Marble blushing with a gold marble gene, these are sometimes called "orange marbles".
So Dad is M/Gm - S/S whilst Mum is +/g - +/+
This means you should have four different types of offspring in roughly similar quantities :-
M/+ - S/+ = marble ghost - these should be silver with quite light marbling (the fish bottom left in photo 3 would be typical)
M/g - S/+ = also marble ghost, but the gold gene will produce much darker marbling (the fish left & right in photo 4 are typical)
Gm/+ - S/+ = Silver gold marble ghost, these will have very little in the way of marbling, even less than the M/+ - S/+ marbles, but like them they will have silver bodies. (the fish in the second photo, and on the right of the third photo are typical)
Gm/g - S/+ = gold marble ghosts, like the silver gold marbles, but with a gold/white rather than silver base colour. The fish in the middle of the 4th photo is going to develop into a fine example of the type.

MY BREEDING PAIR OF ANGELS ARE BOTH DIFFERENT COLORS TO EACH OTHER(UPDATE)
Thanks for your reply and the information ,yes these are all from the 2 adults that i opened the post on, so does that mean the adult Angels are not wild Angel fish ? do you think the adults are from different types of Angels that have been breed ? so if i seem stupid but i am still trying to understand the breeding strains (if i got that right ) what i mean is that they havent been inbreed if you know what i mean

Re: my breeding pair of Angels are both different colors to each other
The mother is a silver angel, all wild angels have a similar pattern to her, but the fact that she's carrying a gold gene means that she's not a wild caught fish. The male carries several domestic mutations not seen in the wild. The vast majority of of angels sold in the UK are farmed, wild fish are significantly more expensive and almost certainly will be sold as such.
Even if the parents are in bred, assuming that they're not related, which seems highly likely, given their genetic make up, then their offspring won't be.
