I went for the swallow tail variation over tangs since tangs could end up being too aggressive. Took a long time to find but worth the wait. Swallow Tail and Lamark species are much more affordable but still hard to find.
the reason why males are hard to find is due to them being collected at such a deep depth the males ship absolutely horribly, however like clown fish if you get two one will change genders
someone should do a n depth video on tangs. the color changes each type go through , before and after pics, and also the different color from different oceans , some places produce better looking tangs
I love Angelfish but that one looks like it has gone through a rough time lately. Edit: with that price tag I'm going to pass. Thanks for the video though Brock
I just got a Watenebei angelfish and added it to my 163 gallon reef tank. My blue hippo tang which has never previously shown aggression to anything immediately attacked the new angelfish to the point it almost killed it. I was able to put the new fish safely in an acclimation box. I plan to release it back into the main part of the tank soon after adding mirrors. Although every situation is different, my research showed that these two should be compatible but I guess the blue color and similar size is what ticked it off. Any advice or experience as to what to do prior or after releasing the angelfish?
That is surprising from the hippo to be so aggressive. I’d recommend over feeding them once the Angel is back out. Add plenty of algae on a clip and feed during the day. Keep em full to keep aggression down. If you notice they still are chasing each other, turn the lights off to see if it helps.
@@BrockLeonard I released the Angel back into the tank. I used mirrors and turned the lights off. After about an hour or so, my hippo started attacking the Angel again. I really want this to work out, so I caught the hippo and put it in the acclimation box and will see what happens for here. I appreciate your feedback.
@@firastaha9107 IT's been about 3 months. The watenebei is doing amazing and swims around the whole tank. It is eating great and growing. The blue hippo aggression has toned down a lot but I still need to keep the acclimation box in the tank as a refuge for the angelfish. She will go in and out as she needs to but the blue hippo won't go in. I'm sure eventually, I'll be able to remove the acclimation box but at least everyone is alive and healthy!
Hey brother, these videos help me alot keep it up!
Beautiful Fish!!💙💙

This is definitely an Angelfish that you can put in a *reef tank* because it's reef safe
Have you done a video on Pygmy red rooster wasp fish ? I just got 1 not much about them online
