The Yellow Tail Cream Angelfish (Apolemichthys xanthurus) is a semi-aggressive species that is reef-safe with caution, admired for its striking cream-colored body contrasted with a vibrant yellow tail and dark edging along the fins. This unique coloration and moderate size make it a highly desirable angelfish for marine aquariums.
Males typically display slightly bolder coloration with more pronounced fin edging, while females and juveniles often have softer tones and less defined markings. They reach about 7 inches in adult size and should be housed in aquariums of at least 120 gallons to provide sufficient space and reduce territorial behavior.
Provide ample live rock with hiding spots and grazing surfaces, along with some open swimming space. A stable environment with proper water parameters is essential: salinity of 1.020–1.025, temperature of 72–79°F, and pH of 8.1–8.4. A secure lid is recommended since angelfish are occasionally prone to jumping.
Their diet should consist of a varied mix, including frozen mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, copepods, high-quality angelfish pellets, marine algae, and spirulina-enriched foods. Regular feeding of sponge-based foods is highly beneficial to maintain their health and coloration. With proper care, the Yellow Tail Cream Angelfish makes a standout centerpiece fish, adding elegance and activity to both fish-only and carefully selected reef aquariums.
