Scientific Name: Genicanthus watanabei

Care Level: Moderate
Shape: Tall
Min. Tank Size: 100 gallon
Temperament: Moderate
Dominant Color: Blue
Disease Prone: low occurrence
Jumper: low occurrence


My favorite of the Genicanthus. Pick is of my female. Avarage Female size 5.5" avg Male 6.25" Once acclimated to tank life a great fish with really nice colors. Because they come from deeper waters the can have air bladder issues which make them one of the more expensive genicanthus angles. They are protogynous hermaphrodites which means they are born females and can if needed switch to males. Male are hard to come by in the trade so if you want a pair try two or more females. They tend to live in harems in the wild consisting of one male and two or more females.

Wha tah nah be. I think that is close I am not Hooked on phonics. lol
No. Never has picked at anything corals hard or soft, clams nothing. Kinda ruled the tank but in a peaceful way.
Genicanthus are mostly open water planktonivors so coral picking or eating really isnt in their diets. All genicanthus are considered reef safe but you know how that goes fish dont read books.
