Ok angel experts, need your opinions. Got a juvenile and an subadult blueface angel in summer of 2023 to form a pair. Today (almost 3 years later) one of them still had no eye spot. Is it a hybrid or why doesn’t it have an eye spot?
First 2 pic in August of 2023. Second picture as of today. Face markings are a little different one the one with no eye spot too

How do they get along?
 
How do they get along?
I wouldn’t say they are a bonded pair, but get along fine. No fights but once in awhile maybe some mild chasing from the one with the eye spot. I don’t know at what age they become sexually mature or if they will ever form a true pair.
 
My maculosus is the boss of my 240 gallon. Grown from 3.5" to over 12" and one of the few survivors of a 5 day power outage. I've had him 3.5 years now, and my favorite fish in the house.

Need to get my filter kit out. This 5.25” is named Titanic. He/she is the biggest fish in my system right now. He/she is the boss!

It’s strange though idk why my fish would let me add an emperor with no problems apart from small ones with the Koran but not an even smaller fish that is the least aggresive fish out of the angels
 
I hope to have some pics to show this time next week, I pulled the trigger on getting a keyhole angel. I ordered a wysiwyg, it was such a captivating guy.
