Chaetodontoplus meredithi, commonly known as Meredith’s Angelfish, is a visually captivating species prized for its vibrant colours and elegant swimming behaviour. This listing features a tiny-sized, tank-bred female specimen, making it an excellent choice for marine aquarists seeking a premium angelfish with a more sustainable origin.
Care Level: Moderate to advanced. This species requires stable water parameters and a well-established aquarium.
Temperament: Generally moderately peaceful but can exhibit territorial behaviour, especially towards conspecifics or similar species. Best kept singly or as a mated pair in larger tanks.
Diet: Omnivorous. Provide a varied diet including high-quality marine angelfish pellets, frozen mysis shrimp, spirulina, and marine algae to ensure optimal health and vibrant colouration.
Minimum Tank Size: 180 litres (approximately 50 gallons) or larger is recommended to provide ample swimming space and reduce territorial disputes.
Reef Compatibility: With Caution. While generally reef safe, this species may nip at sessile invertebrates such as sponges or soft corals. Monitor closely in reef environments.
Lighting and Water Flow: Standard marine aquarium lighting and moderate water flow are suitable. Avoid overly intense lighting or strong currents that may stress the fish.
Placement: Mid to upper levels of the aquarium, where it can swim freely and establish territory.
Origin: Not Provided. Tank-bred specimens reduce wild collection impact and improve acclimation success.
Maximum Size: Up to 15 cm (6 inches) in length when fully grown.
Adding a tank-bred female Chaetodontoplus meredithi to your marine aquarium offers a stunning focal point with its unique patterning and colours. Ensure a mature, well-maintained system with stable parameters to support its health and longevity.
