Description
The Bellus Angel is a graceful and vibrant fish, known for its striking horizontal black and white stripes, accompanied by beautiful hues of blue and purple along its lower body. This peaceful angelfish brings elegance to any reef aquarium and is an excellent choice for intermediate aquarists looking for a unique and visually appealing species.
Native to the deep reefs of the Pacific Ocean, the Bellus Angel thrives in well-established aquariums with plenty of swimming space and live rock. It is reef compatible, making it an ideal addition to mixed reef tanks, where it will not disturb corals or other invertebrates. A balanced diet of marine algae, spirulina, and meaty foods will help maintain its health and vibrant colors.
Reaching a maximum size of 7 inches, the Bellus Angel requires a tank size of at least 70 gallons. Its peaceful nature allows it to be housed with other similarly peaceful species, making it a harmonious addition to most community reef setups.
