BLUESPOTTED ANGELFISH

The secretive Bluespotted Angelfish (Chaetodontoplus caeruleopunctatus)is a relatively small species which is suited to peaceful established aquaria with plenty of living rock. Angelfish from the Chaetodontoplus genus are not seen in the trade all that regularly, and many species are highly prized amongst serious hobbyists. The Bluespotted Angelfish, as the common name suggests, is a particularly pretty species that is speckled with tiny blue glittery dots, also has a vivid yellow tail, and appears to be wearing bright blue lipstick! Tankmates must be chosen carefully as this fish will be reluctant to feed if there is competition from boisterous or aggressive species. Keep only one Bluespotted Angelfish per tank, and not with any other angelfish. The more hiding places within the tank, the more likely it will be that this fish will feel safe enough to swim out and about in full view whilst browsing on the aquarium décor for filamentous algae and diatoms.
