Venustus Angelfish
Snapshot: Also known as the Purple Masked Angelfish or Blue-backed Angelfish. It has vivid blue, yellow and orange colours. It also has a striking, triangular-like, purplish-blue patch over its eye.
Other tidbits: Can grow up to 12cm or so. Native to the tropical waters of the Western Pacific Ocean.
Bare bones must know: Live-rock fish only system, or reef aquarium (with live rock) with care. Well established and mature aquarium.
Aquarium set-up: They can be shy and will require shelter to retreat into. Recreate this in your aquarium with live rock so they have plenty of hiding spots. Maintain an aquatic utopia by nailing the basics: rock-solid water quality with top-notch filtration and routine partial water changes.
Feeding: 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!
