I have 5 Genicanthus angels in my 450g DT, 2 Bellus, 2 SwallowTail, and 1 Lamarck.
#1 The Bellus were purchased at separate times, I had the female first and 6 months later purchased the male from a friend. I did not put them together, as I was waiting for my upgrade. Within a month the male went back to F. (The funny part is that the F color pattern is not quite right.) When I finally put the 2 together in June, the original F that I had, changed colors in 1 week to M, so now I ,again, have a pair, although the F color pattern is not perfect.
#2 , I purchased a sm. M lamarck to go with my Large F ...big mistake, they did not get along, and even though I removed the new small M, my F changed it's color pattern, and became a M...now it's the largest M Genicanthus in the tank!
#3 ...my large M swallowtail has lost all its stripes in the past 2 weeks, and now looks almost identical to the smaller F
I'm worried that the only other remaining M (the Bellus), may also revert to F, because of this large Lamarck...Anyone ever heard of this?
here is a tank video to check out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JuvhYs8vH90
