Fast Facts

Common Name:
Blue Face Angelfish

Other Common Names:

Scientific Name:  Euxiphipops xanthometapon

Location: Indo-Pacific

Diet (In the wild): Coral polyps, clam's mantle, small invertebrates

Care Level: High

Reef Compatibility Level: Low


General Description:

Blue Face Angelfish will be a very interesting addition to any fish only aquarium. Reason being because of its very distinctively bright and intense colors, its face consist of its yellow eye mask and a lower face mask that is bright blue. Together with this absolutely vibrant color, its body consist of blue dots on a yellow-white background with a nicely colored yellow tail.

As with most other angelfishes, Blue Face Angelfish will not be compatible in a reef type tank. They are bigger and therefore will do even more damage to a reef tank if they were to be introduced. Their natural diet consist of invertebrates, coral polyps, and sponges as well. Though this, together with most fishes is to be replaced with specially formulated pellets.

Blue Face Angelfish can sometimes be aggressive towards their own kind, and therefore because of this reason it is always recommended that only one per tank is best. Once adjusted to their tank conditions, you will often see these fishes start picking on your live rocks and over time, they will even greet you when you are in front of the tank.

Husbandry:


As mentioned, their diet consist of corals and is therefore not recommended in a reef tank unless you want to destroy your reef tank bit by bit. Their diet can range from a variety of pellets to frozen food. Though live food is normally not recommended because they normally bring together with them parasites and other dieseases, you can still rear your own brine shrimp and feed them.

Good water quality is also important for this species and as it is with any other marine animals. Fishes does naturally have a high tolerance for nitrate level but that does not mean they can live with it. Making sure that all ammonia, nitrate, and nitrite levels to be at their lowest is important for any fish in the tank, though sometimes with corals, there will be a need when you cannot reduce nitrate level to 0. Another important parameter to focus on will be your pH, pH levels should be kept between 8.1-8.4 and temperatures between 26°C-28°C.

The tank should have a rock scape that provdies sufficient hiding areas and swim through areas for these fishes to move around in just like they would naturally. In any situation the environment of your fish is in must never induce any form of stress to any inhabitants in your tank because of setup mistakes or post setup problems. Care should always be taken when building a tank, and make sure you know what you are going to put in the tank beforehand so that you can at least research on the basic requirements for the tank setup of the animals that you intend to keep.

Fast Facts

Common Name: Bicolor Angelfish

Other Common Names: Blue-and-Gold, Pacific Rock Beauty Angelfish

Scientific Name: Centropyge bicolor

Location: Indo-Pacific

Diet (In the wild): Coral polyps, worms, clams' mantle, other invertebrates

Care Level: Average

Reef Compatibility Level: Low

General Description:

Bicolor Angelfish as its name implies, is indeed bicolor, meaning it has two colors that are distincitve on the fish's body. The colors include the brillant yellow in front and about half its body size down would be a totally separate color, blue. And to finish off this truly beautiful color, its tail is also topped with yellow.

Bicolor Angelfish are one of the best addition to any fish only aquarium. They are non-aggressive towards most of its other companions and provides a brillant and striking display for anyone viewing the tank.

Though it has been observed that some Bicolor Angels do not do well with another Bicolor Angel together in the same tank as they do fight for territories like they will in the wild, it is still possible to put in more than 1 Bicolor Angelfish in a tank that is large enough for each of them to claim their own territories.

Husbandry:

In the wild, these fishes feed mainly on polyps of other soft or hard corals around the reef, hence they require diet that are similar in contents and definitely no need for you to really get a live coral for them. Most LFS will have the proper diet for coral eating fishes such as pellets. Pellets are good substitution for most of these fishes food as they are specially formulated to mimic their diet in the wild and thus resulting in optimal health for your fishes.

Good water quality is also important for this species and as it is with any other marine animals. Fishes does naturally have a hight torlerance for nitrate level but that does not mean they can live with it. Making sure that all ammonia, nitrate, and nitrite levels to be at their lowest is important for any fish in the tank, though sometimes with corals, there will be a need when you cannot reduce nitrate level to 0. Another important parameter to focus on will be your pH, pH levels should be kept between 8.1-8.4 and temperatures between 26°C-28°C.

The tank should have a rock scape that provdies sufficient hiding areas and swim through areas for these fishes to move around in just like they would naturally. In any situation the environment of your fish is in must never induce any form of stress to any inhabitants in your tank because of set-up mistakes or post set-up problems. Care should always be taken when building a tank, and make sure you know what you are going to put in the tank beforehand so that you can at least research on the basic requirements for the tank set-up of the animals that you intend to keep.
