In your experience and a general question about Angels

[ismvel]

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

1. Bellus Angelfish Pair
2. Watanabe Angelfish Pair

Yes 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 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,

Sexually dimorphic simply means there are easily visible differences between both the male and female of the species. As an example, a chickens are sexually dimorphic as a rooster opposed to a hen, can easily be determined by the brightly colored plumage and comb located on their foreheads.

I have read a research study about some Pygmy Angels. The document states some key differences between sexes such as: The Male is More Colorful, Grows Larger and has Bolder Markings. Also one of the species can change from female to male then back to female if a more dominant male comes along.

Well I came home from a brutal soccer practice where I was out-hustled by an 11 year old and my 9 year old son....

Looked on Divers Den on Live Aquaria and saw the watanabe angel. So I moved quicker than I could ever move on the soccer field and picked it up.....so hopefully it gets here Friday morning.....
