Watanabei Angelfish
Snapshot: The male boasts an iridescent pale blue hue, with striking dark stripes and a vibrant orange accent. The female exudes elegance with their dark dorsal fin and no prominent stripes.
Other tidbits: Can grow up to 15cm or so. Native to the tropical waters of the Western Pacific Ocean including the east coast of Australia.
Bare bones must know: Live-rock fish-only system, fish-only system, or reef aquarium with care. Low light on acclimation.
Aquarium set-up: Perfectly suited for a deep-water reef tank, this stunner thrives in a spacious tank adorned with plenty of hiding spots and live rock. Exercise caution when introducing this species to a brightly lit tank bustling with rowdy companions. 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!
