2 Female Angels (Sex Change)

[Aaron-A2]

If you put two Genicanthus females in the same tank, is it always a sure thing that one will become a male? I was looking at buying a pair of Japanese Swallowtails at my LFS, but the cost of the males are so dang high...

IME it is hit and miss with Genicanthus species.

That's too bad

I would say in time it should happen, but time may be a longer time table than you’d like/expect

I have a pair of female masked swallowtails, one larger than the other. They’ve been together about 6 months and still waiting.

I'm given to understand that even if you purchase a male and female, it's possible for the male to revert to female coloration. Wondering if a trio is more likely to tempt one to transition . . .
