Elegant Cream Angelfish: A Stunning Addition to Your Marine Tank

Bring serene beauty to your saltwater aquarium with the striking Cream Angelfish. Its unique coloration and graceful movements will captivate any observer.

Overview

The Cream Angelfish (*Apolemichthys xanthurus*) showcases a beautiful cream-colored body adorned with a subtle dark lattice pattern over its scales. Its most distinctive feature is a vibrant yellow caudal fin, contrasting elegantly with its dark brown to black dorsal and anal fins, which are delicately edged in white. Juveniles display a unique black band through the eye that fades with maturity. This species is known for its shy initial disposition, quickly growing bolder to gracefully utilize all available swimming space in your marine display.

Care Level

Considered an intermediate-level species, the Cream Angelfish is generally peaceful towards most tankmates, yet can be territorial with other angelfish or new additions, especially if space is limited. It thrives in a well-established fish-only system. While hardy, maintaining pristine water quality is crucial for its long-term health and vibrancy.

Tank Essentials

A spacious aquarium of at least 450 L (approximately 120 gallons) is recommended to provide ample swimming room and stability for this active angelfish. Ensure plenty of live rock formations offer numerous caves and hiding spots. Optimal water parameters include a pH range of 8.1-8.4 and a temperature of 23-28°C.

Diet

The Cream Angelfish is an omnivore, requiring a varied diet to thrive. Offer high-quality marine flake and pellet foods, supplemented with frozen preparations like Mysis shrimp, spirulina, marine algae, and sponge-based angelfish formulas. Regular feedings throughout the day are beneficial.
