Is it possible to have multiple males of Genicanthus? I have a watanabei that I think might be starting to transition in to a male, it is starting to develop streamers. I got in a bellus that is larger than him and has all of the female markings but the watanabei won't leave her alone. Is it likely that the bellus is also transitioning to male? I have another much smaller bellus (around an 1") in there that the watanabei pays no attention to. I had to move the new bellus to the sump and I'm going to DIY an acclimation box tonight.
 
My female wantanabei developed fairly long streamers but never transitioned to male. I had to rehome her when I moved and she is still a female after about 4 1/2 years.
 
That makes me hopeful. Hopefully the acclimation box will do the trick.
