Flagfin Angelfish (Apolemichthys trimaculatus)

The Flagfin Angelfish is a striking species, featuring a bright yellow body, a distinctive black mark behind the eyes, and a subtle white-edged tail. This medium-sized angelfish makes a bold statement in fish-only aquariums and is a favorite among experienced marine keepers.

This species requires a well-established aquarium with ample rockwork for grazing and shelter. While it can be hardy once acclimated, it is sensitive during the adjustment period and benefits from high-quality marine sponge-based foods. Not considered reef-safe, as it is known to nip at corals and invertebrates.

Husbandry Tips:

• Acclimation: Requires a well-established tank with ample rockwork for hiding and grazing. Slow acclimation is recommended, as it can be shy at first.
• Feeding: Offer a diverse diet including sponge-based angelfish preparations, marine algae, high-quality frozen foods, and vitamin-enriched pellets.
• Tank Mates: Best suited for fish-only or FOWLR tanks. Avoid housing with highly aggressive species, but also be mindful that it may be bullied by more dominant large angels.
• Water Quality: Requires pristine water conditions with strong filtration. Regular water changes and a stable environment are crucial for long-term success.

Retail Appeal:

• Vivid yellow coloration adds vibrancy to fish-only aquariums.
• Striking facial markings create a unique and recognizable look.
• Best suited for experienced aquarists with large, well-maintained tanks.
