Chaetodontoplus personifer (female) is a medium-sized marine angelfish prized for its vivid coloration and graceful swimming behaviour. This species is suitable for experienced aquarists due to its specific dietary and environmental needs.
Temperament and Compatibility: Generally peaceful, this angelfish can be kept with other non-aggressive tank mates. Avoid housing with overly aggressive species or smaller, timid fish. Compatibility with reef aquariums is with caution, as it may nip at corals or sessile invertebrates.
Diet: Omnivorous; provide a varied diet including marine algae, spirulina, mysis shrimp, and specialised angelfish preparations to ensure optimal health.
Tank Requirements: A minimum tank size of 180 litres is recommended to provide ample swimming space and territory. Maintain stable water parameters with temperatures between 24-27°C, salinity of 1.020-1.025 SG, and excellent water quality.
Lighting and Water Flow: Moderate lighting and moderate water flow are ideal to mimic natural reef environments without stressing the fish.
Placement: Provide plenty of live rock for grazing and hiding spots to reduce stress. This also supports natural foraging behaviour.
Origin: Not Provided.
Maximum Size: Approximately 20 cm (medium size).
