Select Variant
The Blue Girdled Angelfish, also known as The Majestic Angelfish, has yellow scales that have blue margins. They also have an elongated dark blue band or girdle, which is affixed to faces and extends to the back. This girdle gets highlighted in bright blue borders.
Although a little shy, this angelfish is one of the most easy angelfishes to maintain. It needs a tank of at least 180 gallons with multiple hiding spots as well as live rock to graze. A Blue Girdled Angelfish is not an ideal reef dweller because it can be prone to nip at soft and stony corals (sessile invertebrates) and mantles of clams. It is generally not harmful to small-polyped corals or harmful soft corals.
The diet of Blue Girdled Angelfish must comprise vegetable matter, such as Spirulina or marine algae fleshy food items like mysis shrimp and premium angelfish dishes that contain sponges.
