Genicanthus males

[coolxborg]

Hi - I currently have a swallowtail pair angelfish in my QT thats waiting to go to my 225.

However, i want to add Masked swallowtail pair or bellus pair into the tank.

My LFS advised me not to add any other male Genicanthus to the tank.

Good advice?

Im ok with that. Will need to re-work my stocking plan.

If you add any other Genicanthus make sure they are female so the dominant one will change male. With multiples this get a little more tricky. It could go either way honestly. I have the same predicament with a false personifer pair and a scribbled I'm not sure what sex of. Hopefully everything in my case turns male. They are much better looking and more expensive!

Ah thanks. Sounds like no more genicanthus pairs for me. Bummer

It could work out, but might not so you have to weigh the risk
