Pairing bellus angels

[iceh]

I acquired a small 1-1 1/2" female bellus angel a couple weeks ago and she has quickly become one of my favorite fish. Lots of spunk, always swimming around with an "attitude".

I was wondering if people had success pairing after one is already established. Adding a slightly larger female if I cannot find a male available?

Advice appreciated.

I've added female bellus and watanabe in the past after having established ones already in the tank without any problem. Probably easier by adding a larger female if you can't find a male. I prefer all females and watch the dominant fish transform to male.

GL!

I have had my 3" female Bellus for about a 1-1/2, I moved her to my 150G cube about year ago. I then finally found a 5" male from Blue Zoo about 9 months ago, and it took him almost 5 weeks to take prepared foods. The male chased the female for the first couple of days and now they just hang out once and a while but pretty much do their own thing. I have seen people who have bought a couple of females that just stay females so that's why I wanted a male. Here they are:
