Majestic Bluegirdled Angelfish: A Regal Reef Addition

Commanding attention with its vibrant blue and yellow patterns, the Bluegirdled Angelfish is a truly majestic marine species. A rewarding challenge for the experienced aquarist seeking a show-stopping display.

Overview

The Bluegirdled Angelfish (*Pomacanthus navarchus*) showcases an exquisite palette of lemon yellow, deep blue, and intricate reticulations, separated by striking pale blue bands. Juveniles feature dark blue bodies with white stripes, transitioning remarkably into their adult grandeur. Generally solitary or found in pairs, these angelfish are territorial but can be shy initially, gradually becoming more confident within a well-structured environment.

Care Level

This species is best suited for intermediate to advanced aquarists due to its specific needs and semi-aggressive temperament. While generally peaceful with most tank mates, the Bluegirdled Angelfish can be territorial towards other angelfish or similarly shaped species. Careful selection of tank mates and ample space are crucial for successful long-term care.

Tank Essentials

A minimum of 600 litres is recommended for a single Bluegirdled Angelfish, with larger volumes preferred, especially for pairs. Provide plenty of mature live rock with numerous caves and crevices for shelter and grazing opportunities. Pristine water quality is paramount, requiring robust filtration, efficient protein skimming, and stable parameters to ensure a healthy marine fish.

Diet

As omnivores with carnivorous tendencies, Bluegirdled Angelfish thrive on a varied diet. Offer high-quality marine flakes and pellets, along with frozen foods such as mysis shrimp, fortified brine shrimp, and chopped clams. Supplement with marine algae (e.g., spirulina, nori) and angelfish-specific preparations containing sponges. Feed small portions multiple times daily.
