Bellus angel

[Dmorty217]

Im seriously considering getting a Bellus angel for my DT, providing I can source one which shouldn't be a problem. My Question is for those who have them should I get a male or female? I only want one so I was thinking a female, since they are the more striking of the two IMO. I am assuming that the female is the more aggressive one of the two? All input is welcome and some pictures of the beauties if you have them! Everyone loves a pic or two:fish2:

I have a trio of Bellus at the moment which I have had for over a year.

I have kept several pairs over the years. I find them to be great community fish and never had any issues with them and any other fish.

I bought a mature pair close to two years ago, and then came across a 3/4" juvenile. I added it to the tank and they never thought twice about the new addition. And now that tiny juvenile (16 months ago) has been spawning with the male this summer.

Females are not that hard to come across but the males are much less frequently found.

Get the female...IMO much better color, I just sold my male Bellus so that 1 of my swallowtails could turn male...it did and I like the Zebra very much

Female bellus is my favorite fish. Great personality
