Yellowface Angelfish: A Radiant Jewel for Your Marine Aquarium

Bring vibrant color and captivating personality to your larger marine setup with the magnificent Yellowface Angelfish. Its striking patterns and engaging behavior make it a true showstopper.

Overview

The Yellowface Angelfish (*Pomacanthus xanthometopon*) is a stunning marine species, known for its iconic yellow “mask” across its blue-patterned face. Adults display a mesmerizing reticulated body pattern with blue scales edged in yellow, complemented by bright yellow fins. Juveniles feature a distinct dark blue body with vertical white and blue bars, gradually transforming into the adult’s spectacular coloration as they mature, typically around 7-12 cm in length. This angelfish is a graceful swimmer, often found navigating the intricate structures of live rock.

Care Level

Due to their size and specific needs, Yellowface Angelfish care is considered advanced. They are semi-aggressive and territorial, especially towards other angelfish or similarly shaped tank mates. It’s generally best to keep them singly in a well-established system. Careful selection of cohabitants is crucial for a harmonious environment.

Tank Essentials

A mature marine aquarium of at least 700 litres is the absolute minimum, with larger tanks (1500L+) highly recommended for adult specimens to thrive. Provide ample live rock for grazing, hiding spots, and territorial boundaries. Maintain stable water parameters: pH 8.1-8.4, temperature 22-28°C, and salinity 1.020-1.025 sg.

Diet

The Yellowface Angelfish is an omnivore with a preference for sponges and tunicates in the wild. In your aquarium, offer a varied diet including high-quality angelfish preparations, marine algae, spirulina, mysis shrimp, and other frozen meaty foods. Frequent feedings, 2-3 times daily, are essential.
