Does anyone have either a male or better yet a pair of watanabe angels? I really like these fish and am thinking of adding them to my tank if I can get my hands on some.

I have had a pair for about a year now.

They are deepwater fish and can be damaged if they are not collected right. If you get a healthy pair, they are very hardy. They will leave your coral alone too.

They are much more beautiful in person than they are in most pics that are out there.

They swim in the open a lot and will sample any food in the water column. They are not picky eaters.

If you can afford them, and can take care of them, I would imagine that you could have a pair for many, many years.

i have 2 pair in my reef tank right now. i did have another pair but the 3 male morph back to a female and you can still see the 8 black outline on him/her.

May I ask the dimension of the tank where you keep 2 pairs?
