man these genicanthus are popping up on liveaquaria almost every day! I was about to buy a small 2" one, but it was gone right away =(
I just saw one in person at my LFS. It was amazing! beautiful one, no swim bladder problem, plenty of red on the fins. He wouldn't sell it to me yet, but I'm going to go almost every day to pry

yeah, liveaquaria prices are high, but for a reason. quality is top notch, customer service is very fair and reasonable. I would never hesitate to buy from them, they really care for the animals and customers.
If something goes wrong, they'll definitely help you through it. I'd rather buy from a LFS though, just so I can see them in person first, especially with the swim bladder problems they may have. |

OMG, i am soooooooooooo upset.
i put my female bellus into my main tank yesterday and she was fine, eating flakes and swimming around. the powder blue was harrassing her here and there but didn't seem too bad. Anyways, i'm looking for her all morning and cant find her, so i look on top of my tank...and there she is, dried up on my overflow box. this is sooo freaking frustrating i cant even say, i didnt even think they were capable of jumping. it feels like such a waste, she was doing sooo well. sorry to report bad news.

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss! I didn't really think they were jumpers either, unless they were startled. Maybe the Tang frightened her enough to jump.
When I was acclimating my male in a bucket floating in my 100 gallon Rubbermaid sump, I walked up on it and scared him and he shot straight out of the bucket into the sump. I let him stay there for a couple days to calm back down and then he was caught and moved to the display tank. I just thought it was an anomaly, not a norm for them to actually jump.

Mine was being picked on by my young powder blue. I thought she had died and was eaten because hadn't seen her for three days. Then I went to change my water and she had jumped into the overflow. I was able to rescue her and put her in qt. She has popeye and was suffering being picked on. Now I can help her get well. I have to make a choice between these two fish, the angel or the powder blue. They won't coexist peacefully. The bellus is three years old. The powder blue is a young one and absolutely beautiful. This is a tough choice.

I took out my powder blue the other day because it was showing signs of ich and had left the sailfin tang in there... Sailfin is a lil buttmunch right now but I'll have to see what happens with then powder blue goes back in. The sailfin and powder keeps each other in check.

The Purple and Bellus don't bother each other.

My powder blue has been pestering my bellus. Of course, my tank is a 120.

What are you sucessful bellus owners feeding your fish?
Mine had bacterial infection that I'm treating and she is much better but won't eat yet. I've had her two years. She always ate mysis, nori on clip, Forumula 2 flake, about anything I feed. I add vitamins and garlic to food. I can't think of anything else to do. Does anyone know what these fish eat in the ocean?

For example, I added a small orange shoulder tang last night to my 225 and my female Bellus was the nasty one chasing it all over the tank biting at him. I fed the tank quick so that I could turn off the VHO's and the tang would stop between the chasing and grab bites of Rod's food and then get chased again. I was surprised that a newly added and stressed fish from getting picked on by my Bellus pair and a foxface would actually stop to eat while being chased!

So as luck would have it, my LFS has a female Bellus Angel in stock now. The owner said it was eating flake and pellet, but when I asked if it was healthy he kept humming and hawing and finally said, "I dunno...it could be fatter."
Any helpful hints or tips for me as I go to look at this fish? It's being held for me for 24 hours. I have a 120 gallon reef tank with the following fish: lrg sailfin tang (rambunctious but a nice fish) lrg foxface (buddies with the sailfin) 2 firefish 1 clarkii clown 2 juvie true percs 2 dragon pipefish 1 eyelash blenny I'd say it's a peaceful community tank. |
