Multibar Angelfish
Snapshot: This fish rocks individual black and yellow vertical bands, each bordered by a sleek white stripe. Its tail shimmers in a gradient of white to yellow, sprinkled with tiny black speckles.
Other tidbits: Can grow up to 12cm or so. Distributed throughout the East Indian Ocean, Australia, Indonesia, East Pacific, and the Central/West Pacific Ocean.
Bare bones must know: Live-rock fish-only system, fish-only system, or reef aquarium with care. Super sensitive during transport and acclimation, handle with care.
Aquarium set-up: This species thrives on cozy hideaways, so be sure to pack the tank with plenty of snug spots between live rocks. They also love to graze on tasty algae from rocks and stones. Maintain an aquatic utopia by nailing the basics: rock-solid water quality with top-notch filtration and routine partial water changes.
Feeding: This species can be a bit of a picky eater, making it tricky to get them to chow down enough in the aquarium. Angelfish are omnivorous champs. Keep 'em happy with a smorgasbord of high-quality marine flakes, nutrient-rich algae like nori, live treats, and frozen crustaceans like brine or mysis shrimp, and top-notch frozen blends.
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!
