Hi.
I would like to get Genicanthus angels to my 185g reef. Now there are captive bred bellus angels available. They are all tiny ( 1inch) females. I would really like a pair and have understood that they are hemaphrodites. However, is it a sure thing that one will turn male or do I risk having two females or two males that do not get along?
What are your experiences with these fish?
Thanks!

One will 100% transition to make out of two/three females. I’ve watched it with several species from that genus now including Bellus’.
