Rock Beauty Angelfish
Snapshot: The Rock Beauty Angelfish is a bold reef fashionista, with a half-and-half ensemble. As an adult, it rocks a sleek black rear half, while the front half — head, shoulders, and caudal fin — glows like the sun in brilliant yellow.
Other tidbits: Can grow up to 35cm or so. Distributed throughout the Mexican Gulf and the West Atlantic Oceans.
Bare bones must know: Live-rock fish-only system, fish-only system, or reef aquarium with care.
Aquarium set-up: This fish is all about the low-light lifestyle — dim the lights, set the mood, and it’s right at home. Maintain an aquatic utopia by nailing the basics: rock-solid water quality with top-notch filtration and routine partial water changes.
Feeding: These divas are sponge connoisseurs so offer a gourmet spread — think marine algae, spirulina, finely chopped seafood snacks, and top-shelf angelfish cuisine that includes real sponge.
AQT note: All our fish feast on a diet of seaweed, marine pellets, flakes and frozen treats under our care. Keep the feast going in your tank!
