Product Description

The Bellus Angelfish is one of the few angelfish displaying sexual
dimorphism. The male is an iridescent pale white and blue, with the
lower half of the body and anal fin highlighted by long, horizontal blue
stripes and one, yellow to orange stripe extending toward the caudal
fin and edging the dorsal fin. The female is an iridescent pale white
and blue and black with a yellow/orange dorsal fin and lateral stripe
running from gills to tail.Bellus Angelfish are best housed as a male-female pair or small harem of
one male and few females in a 125-gallon or larger aquarium, and are
ideal candidates for the deep-water reef aquarium. Acclimation will be
facilitated by a dimly-lit tank, but these fishes seem to adapt well to
the intense lighting in most modern reef aquariums. The tank should have
multiple hiding places and live rock for grazing. Do not keep two males
in the same tank as fighting will ensue.The Bellus Angelfish are hermaphroditic and have the ability to change
sex from female to male, and males can even revert back to female if no
females are present in the aquarium. They are difficult to breed, but
many seasoned veteran aquarists have successfully observed these fishes
spawning on a regular basis in very large home aquariums.A varied diet of meaty foods such as
vitamin enriched frozen brine shrimp, plus
spirulina,
marine algae,
high-quality angelfish preparations,
mysis or
frozen shrimp, and other meaty items will provide good nutrition.
