I will try and get a picture...a LFS down here just got one in Monday! BEAUTIFUL FISH!! Pictures do not do this fish justice!! its a beautiful goldish yellow and redish lines though the tail and bright blue lips! From all the pictures Ive seen I never though I would like it...but now that I have seen it, I want one! hehe

I'll get you some pics tomorrow... I've never had good luck with the wild males but I have great luck with a male that developed in captivity. It only took 2 years of keeping 2 females together before one changed.

They can change like that? What was the problem with wild males?{hehe..that sounds funy }

I have had mine for about a year now with a female. Other than coming in with ich they have been great. I quarantined the fish for 6 weeks in a 20 long now they swim in my 250gal. reef. They do swim constantly so alot of space would be optimal.

Here comes a pic of my male bellus angel, wild caught and kept in fish only tank for 1 and half year, very easy to keep. But the colour not good as female.

I don't see it.. Thanks for all the replies.

They are a beautiful fish. Somewhat tough to keep though. I've seen two die in captivity.
