Bellus Angel

coloradoreef is ordering them from one of his wholesalers. I am excited to get them, after having tanks for as long as I have, this is my first must have fish.
Oh yeah. looks like I will win

 

Yay! I'm glad he was able to find you some. Maybe he can find me some in the future!!

Fine you win. But I am REALLY jealous!!!

 

That's a sweet fish. If you get them, I need to come check them out.

 

anytime.

 

I haven't officially won yet, with my luck they will only have 1

 

Well, you're still several steps ahead of me!

 

These are planktivores, unlike most angels, and are reef safe. They don't pick off the rocks and eat corals like most angels. There are other swallowtail angels that are less $$ and still reef safe. IIRC, all the safe angels are in the genus genicanthus.

I know several folks that have had them in reefs with no issues.

I plan on getting 1 or 2 genicanthus angels myself.

 

Thanks for the info. I should have the order in on Monday, fish should be here on Tues. or Wed. I am going to get 2 females for the hope that one will change to a male as the males are hard to find. Not to sure if it will work, but from what I've read, there is a good chance of it happening.

 

Good luck!! I can't wait to see pictures!

 

Wow I called that. guess I will have to wait a while. Going to check Wed, their supposed to get more in. Maybe I'll get lucky and they will have the male.

I guess the race is still on.
