Opinions on the Wantanabe Angelfish

[NL146]

What has been your experience with the Wantanabe angelfish? I had a pair some time ago that were very aggressive and the female harassed a Blue Dot Jawfish to death. I think they are beautiful though and wouldn't mind trying again. Thanks for your comments.

I agree. They are very beautiful. In my opinion the bellus angels are my favorite of the group. Females are a little more colorful

My favorite Genicanthus. I have not had any issues with mine either in a mixed reef or in FOWLR setup. The trick is finding a healthy male as they often ship poorly.

This. One of favs. Females can get pretty big one established.

Could it be that the aggressive behavior of some of my wrasses triggered aggression in the ones I had? The female literally hounded the Blue Dot Jawfish, followed it around the tank, prevented it from eating..

Had a pair no issues with aggression the died from a bacterial infection that killed every angel in my tank I'm looking for another pair

I had a female with a jap masked swallowtail and pair of bellus Angels. I had zero issues with the one I had. Sadly, I also lost the Angels to an infection. I had them with a melanarus and orange back wrasse for awhile and didn't notice any aggression issues

I have 2 females, one is now much bigger than the other but I'm not sure it will turn male with my trio of swallow tails in the tank. I have had no problem with aggression at all. My swallow tails are more aggressive.

Thanks for the feedback. I think I'll be trying another pair.
