Have one turn into a male? They can change?

"The Bellus Angelfish are hermaphroditic and have the ability to change sex from female to male, and males can even revert back to female if no females are present in the aquarium. They are difficult to breed, but many seasoned veteran aquarists have successfully observed these fishes spawning on a regular basis in very large home aquariums."

Just be wary that Angels are very shy when first introduced. You'll want to keep the lights dim for a couple days after you add them for best results. This will help them adjust and get eating.
