Conspicuous Angelfish

The Conspicuous Angelfish (Chaetodontoplus conspicillatus) is a semi-aggressive species that is reef-safe with caution, admired for its striking coloration, intricate patterns, and medium size. Males typically display more vibrant hues and slightly larger fins, while females and juveniles exhibit subtler colors and smaller bodies. They reach about 8–10 inches in length and should be housed in aquariums of at least 100 gallons to provide ample swimming space. The tank should include a sandbed, plenty of live rock, and numerous hiding spots, while leaving open areas for swimming. Maintaining stable water parameters (salinity ~1.020–1.025, temperature ~72–79°F, pH ~8.1–8.4) is essential, and a secure lid is recommended as many angelfish are prone to jumping. Their diet should consist of mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, copepods, marine pellets, and algae, ensuring proper nutrition. With attentive care, the Conspicuous Angelfish makes a stunning and dynamic addition to any marine aquarium.
