The Flagfin Angelfish is a stunning and graceful species, easily recognized by its bright yellow body, contrasting blue lips, and distinctive black spot just behind the gill cover. Its elegant form and vivid coloration make it a showpiece in large aquariums. Though shy at first, this angelfish becomes more confident over time, adding a touch of tropical brilliance and movement to any display.
Size: Typically grows up to 9 inches in length
Country of Origin: Indo-Pacific region, from East Africa and the Maldives to Fiji and the Great Barrier Reef
Latin Name: Apolemichthys trimaculatus
Care Level: Moderate to Difficult – requires a large, well-established aquarium with ample rockwork for grazing and hiding, and pristine water conditions
Flagfin Angelfish are omnivores that feed on sponges, tunicates, and algae in the wild. In captivity, they should be offered a varied diet including sponge-based angelfish formulas, marine algae, mysis shrimp, and other meaty foods. They are generally not considered reef safe, as they may nip at corals and sessile invertebrates.
