Japanese Swallowtail Angel (Genicanthus melanospilus)

The Japanese Swallow Angel is a graceful and reef-safe angelfish known for its striking sexual dimorphism. Males display bold vertical barring with hints of blue, while females feature a soft silver body accented by a black tail spot. Unlike many angelfish, this species does not nip at corals, making it a perfect choice for reef aquariums.

Active and peaceful, this mid-sized angelfish thrives in well-established tanks with plenty of open swimming space and rockwork for grazing. It does well in pairs or harems when introduced together and should be provided with a varied diet rich in marine algae and proteins.

Retail Appeal:

• Fully reef-safe angelfish, ideal for coral-heavy setups.
• Elegant, active swimmer with striking coloration differences between sexes.
• Hardy and adaptable, making it a great choice for advanced hobbyists.

Stock the Japanese Swallow Angel to offer customers a refined and reef-friendly angelfish that brings both beauty and activity to marine aquariums.
