Derek Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 I currently have a Lamark's angel. I would love to get a small harem of Bellus angels. Would they get along with each other? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crab Rangoon Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 I PM'd you some much more thorough and enlightening reading material on the matter, but I'm still not sure of how open the ARC policy on outside links is, so I didn't post it here. I've read enough about Genicanths at war with each other to decide against trying my hand at pairing them up, and probably even against mixing 2 kinds together. I don't know about a harem, but a mated pair can certainly be had, without having to buy 2 individual fish and hope for the best too! I would suggest going that route, as opposed to housing 2 together who hadn't ever seen eachother before, as it is technically a risk and they may fight more than get along. Just a word of advice - as it's entirely possible you bought 2 of them separately and they could wind up pairing up after all, I just wouldn't want to deal with the extra risk factor on a fish at that price Good luck to you, Derek, I'm glad to see somebody around here appreciating the Genicanths Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Posted June 14, 2010 Author Share Posted June 14, 2010 I love the Genicanths. The Lamarck Angel that I have is awesome. She is one of my favorites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FragsandMore Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 hey crab, i would like to read the genicanthus info if you could link it here please gerek, I too love the genicanthids! my hope is to one day have a large tank with many different ones together i have a bellus female in my home tank right now, and I had 2 female watanabe before the bellus, but they both just up and died with days of each other for completely unknown reasons i had a lamarki at work before Ike hit and had her for ages, ... definitely my fav family of fishes!

Crab Rangoon Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Yeah, definitely good reads - and certainly goes to show that 'mileage may vary' when it comes to mixing & combining different fish. I've always been a big fan of these, as sexual dimorphic species w/nice courting behavior in your captive system aren't the easiest to come across - and these are a great reef safe option for those interested in Angels but worried about their corals.
