Is a bellus compatible with the following?

Powder Blue Tang
One spot foxface
Fairy, flasher, mellanaurus wrasse
Clowns
Firefish
Bangai cardinals

We're looking at adding a bellus angel as our last fish to our 125. Thanks!
I’d be cautious adding the bellus in after the PBT is established. Personally I don’t recommend adding any fish in after an aggressive Acanthurus/Zebrasoma/Prionurus tank is added.
 
Well woke up to a dead flameback Angel. Feeling a little defeated because it was doing so well when I added it but yesterday it was acting very strange. Haven’t had a lot of luck with new fish lately so I’m probably going to wait a while before adding anything else.
 
I thought I'd share my Lamarck's angelfish - one of the most peaceful and graceful fish in my aquarium. Took this with my new Sony A6400, and while I'm still playing around with the settings I thought this wasn't too bad for just randomly clicking away with the 18-135mm zoom lens.

I’d love one but with an established G. melanospilos that I can’t figure out what gender it is, because it’s not reverting completely but not completely got the male colours it would be hard. Beautiful specimen you have! I assume female?

Thank-you. Yes, female. I picked her up locally from a reefer that was shutting down their tank. She joined a pair of dwarf midnight and coral beauty angelfishes and a juvenile emperor angelfish.
 
That’s a beautiful fish! 3 weeks of hiding would stress me out. Where did you get it?
Got it from Jeremy @ Modern AquatiX. Not sure where he got it. It was one of 3 captive bred that he brought in. It definitely added a few gray hairs
 
Couple pics of my captive bluelines from poma labs... Matt does a fantastic job with these fish and I got a pair that hang out together. Eating flake from day one and just amazing, healthy fish.

As well as my imperator because he was looking at me

Here's a quick pic of my 4" regal.

I'm guessing female, and I'd like to try a pair. Has anyone put a 2-3" juvenile in with a female and had them pair up? I'm worried there will be allot of aggression before she changes to male. Or should I try to find a larger male?
I’d add a younger female, the larger of the two would transition to male 4” doesn’t sound like it would be a female to me, how long has it been in the tank?
 
I've had it for about 6 months, but for a bit in the beginning I had another regal with it (with an egg crate divider) that I believe was a male.
He was the same size, but had a much larger gill spike and his body was a bit longer and not so rounded.

Has anyone else tried pairing a larger female with a juvenile? I don't mind having a divider in the tank for a bit, but they're such slow growers I don't want to have it up for a year.
