Swallow Tail Angels

So how long will it take for one of my females to morph into a male? Thanks.

not sure you can put a time frame on this. I've heard of females never changing. I've never tried two females, but I have had a male loose most of its male colors despite being with a female.

From what I've gathered, probably one of the least likely genicanthus species to turn from female to male in a tank.

Great that's what I was afraid off. I have been looking for a male swallow tail but no real luck as yet.
