Ultimate Genicanthus (SwallowTail) Angel Thread

[SaraB]

Here is a photo of my newest addition ... a Lamarks Angel I believe. Couple of questions, is it a male or female? Also, would it do alright if added together with Bellus Angels? Currently it is only about the size of a half dollar. I would like to get a pair of them, but I know acquiring a male is difficult. I just wanted to confirm that 2 juveniles could become a male and female pair. I keep seeing non juvenile females currently at my LFS. The 3 angels would be in a 225 gallon tank.

Just to clarify, I want to keep this one angel with a pair of Bellus.

I don't think it will be a problem. I had my pair of Wantanabie's and a female belus in a 190 with no problems. These angels seem to be more peaceful that other angel species.

I get my 4 inch male zebra angel today to replace my jumper. I hope my female accepts him.
