Vanderloosi Angelfish (Chaetodontoplus cf Vanderloosi)
Description

Please Note: Unless specified as "WYSIWYG" (What You See Is What You Get), all fish images on this website are stock photos that represent the fish of like and kind. Due to natural variations within species, your item may not look identical to the image provided. The approximate size range may also vary between individual specimens.

Vanderloosi Angelfish, Chaetodontoplus cf. vanderloosi 
The Vanderloosi Angelfish is a rare and striking Chaetodontoplus species, believed to originate from the Coral Sea or surrounding regions. This species displays a deep bluish-black body accented by bright yellow pectoral fins and bold yellow edges along the dorsal and anal fins. Like other members of its genus, C. cf. vanderloosi features a distinctive pale face mask and elegant, flowing finnage. Rarely collected and seldom seen in the trade, this angelfish is best suited for expert aquarists or collectors seeking something truly unique for a large, well-maintained system.


Husbandry Tips:

  • Tank Size: 150 gallons minimum

  • Diet: Omnivorous — thrives on sponge-based angelfish diets, nori, enriched frozen foods, and marine pellets

  • Temperament: Semi-aggressive; may become territorial, especially toward other angelfish

  • Reef-Safe: With caution — may nip at LPS, zoanthids, and clam mantles

  • Behavior: Graceful swimmer; requires ample rockwork for grazing and shelter

  • Special Notes: Rare in the trade; proper acclimation and high-quality diet are key to long-term success


Retail Appeal:

  • Exceptionally rare species — ideal for collectors and high-end marine buyers

  • Striking yellow and black contrast with elegant form

  • Hardy when acclimated, especially compared to other deepwater angels

  • Great for show tanks, FOWLR setups, or carefully curated reef systems

  • High-value, low-availability offering for specialty retailers and public aquariums
