Vermiculated Angelfish: A Striking Centrepiece for Your Marine Aquarium

Add a touch of vibrant sophistication to your saltwater setup with the captivating Vermiculated Angelfish. Its intricate patterns and peaceful, yet confident, demeanor make it a truly eye-catching addition.

Overview

The Vermiculated Angelfish (*Chaetodontoplus mesoleucus*) boasts a unique colouration with a yellow snout and blue lips, transitioning to a prominent black band across its eye. Behind this, its body shifts from a creamy white to a purplish-grey or black, adorned with delicate, wavy white lines. Its striking yellow caudal fin and blue-edged dorsal and anal fins complete this beautiful display. In your aquarium, it will elegantly navigate rockwork, often seeking shelter among crevices.

Care Level

This species is considered an intermediate to moderately difficult angelfish to keep, requiring stable conditions and a mature aquarium. Generally semi-aggressive, it coexists well with other non-aggressive tankmates but may nip at soft corals, clams, and LPS. Plan for a fish-only-with-live-rock (FOWLR) setup for optimal compatibility.

Tank Essentials

A minimum tank size of 450 litres is recommended to provide ample swimming space and accommodate its adult size. Maintain stable water parameters: pH between 8.0 and 8.4, and a temperature range of 24-28°C. Good oxygenation and high water quality are essential for its well-being.

Diet

The Vermiculated Angelfish is an omnivore with a preference for sponges, tunicates, and filamentous algae. Offer a varied diet including marine pellets, spirulina-enriched flakes, and frozen foods like mysis shrimp and brine shrimp. Frequent feedings are beneficial.
