Japanese Swallotail Angelfish...Maybe??

cool thanks for the info. i've decided to not get the swordtail because 6" would be to big for my tank

 

i'll look around a bit more to see if their is one that would fit in my tank

 

well i found that the lamarck might fit but i already have two black and white fish so that will not do

 

Have you ever thought of a Jawfish? I think they are the most adorable little fish

 

yea my favorite jawfish is the blue dot jawfish but i worry about them being semi-aggressive

 

If you are interested in the angels I would deff. look into the bellus angel. It is the smallest of the Genicanthus species and one of the prettiest as well. Deff. worth a look.

Female


Male

 

yea i like them but they also get 7" and need 100+

 

They can, but they usually stay around 5. I guess that would still be large for a 46 though. hmmm...What exactly are you looking for color wise? Personality? etc.

 

not really sure color wise, perferably a nice bright colored fish, as i already have two "darker" colored fish and don't want any more. I know the wrasse that i'm getting is nice and colorful, and still not 100% sure on the midas blenny but it would add a good splash of color to the tank. I'm just trying to see if it's possible to fit an angel in my tank, if not i'm cool with it

 

Regardless all angelfish are semi-aggressive from my understanding besides the Genicanthus. But they will outgrow your tank more then likely. And where as the dwarf angels are caution for reef. . You could always do a smaller one of the Genicanthus family, then trade it in when it gets to large. And just because the temperament of a site says something doesnt mean its totally true. The guides are generally a good rule of thumb. Who knows, You may want to upgrade your tank to a larger size in the future and have a nice angel .

My purple tang is listed as aggressive on most sites but hes one of the biggest babies in my aquarium. He occasionally chases my Blueface Angelfish, But leaves my 3 other tangs alone?
