Bannerfish or bellus angel

I was thinking one of these guys would make a nice next addition to my tank. Can anyone offer any info about them. Also, I will be traveling soon from London to Toronto and was looking for places along the way to check out fish, who carrier a large variety of healthy fish?

The bellus angel is in the family Genicanthus which is the only reef safe angelfish. I had a Genacanthus Melanospilous for several years and it never bothered anything in my tank. They are planktonavores and need to be fed small amounts often (3 or more times a day) to thrive.

Can't say about the bannerfish as I've never had one.

Thankyou, I work right beside my tank so I could do the feedings.
