Swallow Tail Angel

[hollback]

I have had a swallowtail angel for a few months now. Best fish I have ever owned. She is the ruler of my tank and has a very social personality. I assume she is very happy and getting plenty to eat. Her colors have been getting really bright/bold and her streamers have more than doubled since I got her. Does anyone else have a Genicanthus species? Post a photo if you do.

Sorry for the slightly blurry photo. She's always on the move!

...and just for fun, here is the sweetest acan ever.

Unfortunately I'm traveling till Fri and can't snap any photos, but I picked up the Bellus Angel pair Phishy got in a couple weeks ago. Fantastic fish. They have already staked claim to there own territory even though my Purple tang is a little bast*$#!! I was worried about them taking food, but they are alreadytaking frozen mysis and pellets.

I really like the female Bellus. I think my favorite from a color perspective is the Wantanabe angel. I also got my Swallowtail at Phishy's. They held her for me and got her eating before I brought her home. She eats everything including flake and she'll even pick at the nori for the tang.

A week ago I picked up a female bellus from opusthepenguin (on CORA). Great fish - eats pellets, some flake, mysis, nori, Rod's food, etc. She's small enough that my Potter's angel apparently doesn't view her as a threat, and so doesn't harass her. If I ever see a male someplace, I'd like to try to pair them up. I'll try to snap a photo later.

Do you have any other angles in the tank with the swallowtail? I am thinking of getting one but I already have a bicolor and flame in a 160.

Beautiful fish!

Nope. She is in my 120 with a Scopas Tang, 2 Onyx Clowns, a male Lyretail Anthias, and a large Green Chromis. She hates the Chromis and the Anthias.

Thanks. It's definitely my favorite in my acan collection.
