Any one have these?? Specifically a pair?? I am looking into purchasing a pair. Just wanted to see what experiences other reefers have had. Pics welcome!! :bounce3:

HAD a pair! made the mistake of separating them and the male reverted back to female...when my upgrade is complete, I'll put them together, hopefully one will change to a male. Great fish, get along good with a lamarcks angel also. BTW, NYaquatic has a few males and females available, saw them yesterday http://www.nyaquatic.com/servlet/the-Angels-dsh-large/Categories

Thats to bad!:sad1: Glad that I asked then. Will have to keep looking for a nice pair to add. Was also thinking maybe a pair of Pyramid BFLY (Hemitaurichthys polylepis).

I just took my two females out of QT and placed them in the tank the other day....eats great, gets along with eveyone else as well, i waited a long time to get them and i gotta tell you it was definatly worth the wait!!!!
They would do well, even a trio. I don't know how to sex them but I have four in one tank and three in another.
3 bellus angels in a 125? I think that would not work well.

HHHMMMMMM..... I don't want to add the fish if they won't be comfortable. Heres a list of my current occupants:
Saddleback clowns - Amphiprion polymnus (pair)
Chromis viridis - (pair)
Chocolate Surgeon - Acanthurus pyroferus about 4 1/2 "
Yellow headed sleeper goby - Valenciennea strigata
Carpenter's Flasher wrasse - Paracheilinus carpenteri

I had two females in a 125. It took about a year and the larger female became a male. See the Bellus Angle Thread http://reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=736503&page=7
Now another year has passed. I only have four fish left after a horrific velvet outbreak. They share a 250 gal with a pair of percs and are loving it. The male was in bad shape but pulled through. The female, like the percs, never seemed bothered by it/
I highly recommend this fish. If one went from female to male in my 125, I think that a 6 ft tank is a fine size for them. I do have a very tiny pair though ~ 2.5 inches.
