Lamarck’s Angelfish: Graceful Beauty for Your Reef

Add the elegant Lamarck’s Angelfish to your marine aquarium. Known for their peaceful nature and striking stripes, these active swimmers bring captivating charm to well-established reef systems.

Overview

The Lamarck’s Angelfish (*Genicanthus lamarck*) is a visually appealing marine fish, displaying a pale grey to whitish body adorned with three to six prominent black horizontal stripes. Males often exhibit a yellow patch on their crown and elongated caudal fin lobes, while females typically have a broader uppermost stripe. These angelfish are active, graceful swimmers, often found navigating the open water column, making them a dynamic addition to your marine display. They are generally peaceful and known for their reef-safe nature.

Care Level

Considered a moderate care level species, the Lamarck’s Angelfish is generally peaceful but can be shy upon introduction. They thrive best singly, as a male-female pair, or in a harem with one male and multiple females. Avoid housing two males together. They are compatible with most other peaceful marine inhabitants and are typically safe with corals and sessile invertebrates.

Tank Essentials

A minimum tank size of 470 litres is recommended for a single Lamarck’s Angelfish, with larger volumes preferred for pairs or groups. Provide ample open swimming space, along with plenty of live rock for hiding spots and grazing opportunities. Maintaining stable water parameters and excellent water quality is crucial for their long-term health.

Diet

As omnivores with a preference for zooplankton, Lamarck’s Angelfish require a varied diet. Offer high-quality marine flakes and pellets, supplemented with frozen foods like Mysis shrimp, enriched brine shrimp, and marine algae such as Spirulina and Nori. Feed small amounts multiple times throughout the day for optimal health.
