Hi there,

Welcome to Simply. :)

Size does not necessarily indicate age. However, a 2-3 inch fish should be 3 months old or so. If this is the case, you can expect them to start pairing off in 9 months or when they are around a year old.

Some strains and individuals may take more time to sexually mature. Others will take less. Blue Diamonds, for example, are notorious for taking forever to become sexually mature.

Discus are really different than angels to raise and breed. If you can raise and breed Discus you can raise and breed angels, but the reverse is not true.

Read much more here at Simply Discus before you decide to buy some. Check out the libraries and stickies here for info, and do searches on specific items to find out more.
