BLUE-SPOTTED ANGELFISH
/Fish and Corals/Fish of the week
The Blue-spotted Angelfish, aka Blue-spangled Angelfish, is a blue fish with a striking yellow tail. It’s front part is gradually covered with lighter blue dots to which the angelfish owes its name. The dots tend to merge at the fish head so it makes it more lighter at the front. It is highly appreciated among angel-lovers due to its complex and incredible coloring.
The Bue-spotted Angelfish originates mainly from Philippines and can grow up to 14 cm long. It is preferable to keep it in approximately 125+ gallon water well-established tank with places to hide. The Bluespotted Angelfish also requires a couple of live rocks to graze. It may be combined with other non-aggressive aquarium mates as it also usually has a calm character, unless spotted with fishes of the same size or of a same kind. It may eat hard corals, soft corals, stony corals, etc.
At home the Blue-spotted Angelfish can eat diatoms, as well as spirulina and other angelfish preparations. Frozen shrimp and other meaty nutrients can be also added into the fish diet. The Blue-spotted Angelfish must be fed at least three times a day.
