For those of you who have been around long enough....in what direction would you point someone who is looking for harder to find fish....
I would really love either a
Bellus Angelfish Pair
Watanabe Angelfish PairYes I know they don't come cheap.....
And the other question I had was:
The Lamarck's Angelfish (or Lamark Angelfish) is also known as the Freckletail Lyretail Angelfish. They have the distinction among angelfish of being sexually dimorphic. Both male and female are a silvery-gray with horizontal black stripes from eye to caudal (http://javascript<b></b>:popupWin1('/dictionary_term.cfm?term=caudal&cls=16', 50, 50, 350, 300)) fin. The female's stripes are bolder with one extending into and covering the length of the caudal fin. In both, the long dorsal fin is black, although larger in the female, and the caudal fin is freckled with black.
More easy to keep than some other angelfish, the Lamarck's Angelfish requires a well-maintained tank of at least 70 gallons. They may chase small, docile planktivores such as Anthias, Fairy Wrasses, Flasher Wrasses, and Fire Gobies, but will usually ignore other fish, including other Angels. Only one male Lamarck's Angelfish should be kept per tank. Fish of the genus Genicanthus are the only zooplanktivores among the angelfish.
Does this (sexually dimorphic) mean if I were to get two female Lamarck angels one would turn into a male over time (like clownfish)?
Thanks,
