Need Help With Angel Fish Ideas'

[hogfanreefer]

Watanabei angel or pair would be awesome. Better chance of being reef safe than most genus of angels.

Good Possiblity...

I will look into that.

I will look into that.

I suggest not. Even though it's reef safe, but the male could lose its nice coloration, basically turning gay.

We have a flame x rusty hybrid who to date is coral safe, but she ate our clam and routinely knocks snails off the glass and eats them.

Just get a Bellus since I know you want one more than a Wanatabei, otherwise you are looking at 100's$$ of dollars for a fish that may or may not be picking at your clam and corals. Not worth the risk, plus I don't want to have to help you catch the angel out of your tank. A hybrid of some sort would be sweet, but the are few and far between

Ditto to what o2manyfish states.

I noticed that you mentioned that you did not want an angel that would pick on your clam. As you are probably aware there is no reef safe angel. Individual fish may not pick but there is always a risk

There is an excellent article on this very topic at. http://************.com/2014/03/27/angelfish-reef-aquariums/. Just written about the Goldflake and Regal.

My personal experience is that my goldflake didn't pick on zoes but went after all my LPS. My regal on the other hand loved zoes. I wouldn't trust a clam with either one.

On the other hand the sheer beauty of each of these fish is worth it.

In my experience my nonreef friends always notice the fish before the coral. So I now have a beautiful softy (star polyps, mushrooms, pipe organ, etc.) tank

I think your right, but that's why I am taking my time picking one out.

Angels- WantanaBei Medium Pair-Bought

Angels- WantanaBei Medium Pair-Bought

So I finally made my mind up and pulled the trigger and came out pretty good. I got a male & female Pair of WantanaBei Angels. They are doing great and are super healthy.

Thanks Everyone for the suggestions,

He has since separated the male and female since they weren't getting along very well in a 29g (make being aggressive) Since then one is in a 125g and the other is about to be in a separate 125g

That's disappointing to hear. He may end up with two females.

Pretty sure the sex change is permanent. There is a greater of Chang ending up with 2 males.

Lost my female and the male turned female within 2 months.

Lost my female and the male turned female within 2 months.

+1 to that. I have a pair of WA myself and have done my homework prior to the purchase. 9 out of 10 morph goes to female.
