The Joculator Angelfish, (Centropyge joculator) is also called The Yellowhead Angelfish is a beautiful rarely observed dwarf marine angelfish that can be found only on the Christmas Islands and Cocos-Keeling Islands in the Eastern Indian Ocean. The brightly colored angelfish looks like its cousin, the Bicolor Anglefish (Centropyge bicolor) but does not have the distinct vertical blue bar over the eye. The Joculator Angelfish is adorned with an emerald-colored ring of blue around its eyes. This electric blue coloration creates an outline of a thin line across the sides of its dorsal as well as anal fins. The Joculator Angelfish is a tough angelfish which can grow up by 3" or larger in size. The ideal environment that will suit the Joculator Anglefish needs to be an existing marine aquarium with around 70-70 gallons that are aquascaped with plenty of live rock as well as ample open areas for swimming.   The Joculator Angelfish must be kept with corals as well as the clams cautiously since it can nip them to search for food. Additionally to that, the Joculator Angelfish can be averse to other species, so it is best to avoid keeping at least one Joculator Angel inside a marine aquarium or in conjunction with other fish with similar characteristics to it , like the Bicolor Angelfish, or even the Rock Beauty Angelfish.   The Joculator Angelfish should be fed at least 2 or 3 times daily to discourage it from nibbling at mantels of clams or corals. Feeding brine shrimp that are enriched and frozen and mysis shrimp, along with Spirulina and a high-quality prepared Marine angelfish food.   Approximate Purchase Size: Small: 1" to 2"; Medium: 2" to 3"; Large: 3" to 4"

Helpful Questions From Clients
Frequently Asked Questions
Is hiring a professional necessary to set up a saltwater aquarium?

As a general rule, a larger custom aquarium might require installation by a professional. However, a kit from our online fish store is relatively affordable and beginner friendly. That means you should have no problem setting it up yourself.

Which saltwater aquarium fish should you choose when starting out?

Consider a yellow tang fish. This popular saltwater aquarium fish does a great job of coexisting with other types of fish you’ll find in our online fish store.

How does a saltwater aquarium differ from a freshwater one?

Saltwater aquariums require a bit more maintenance and monitoring than freshwater tanks. Different fish require different levels of salinity, pH tolerances, and temperature requirements. They also require specialized pumps, filters, and other equipment that can handle salt. We can guide you through everything you need to know to set up a healthy, thriving reef tank.

Do fish in a saltwater aquarium swim in a school?

That depends on the species. However, if it’s a fish that swims in a school in the wild, they’ll do the same in an aquarium. Some fish that swim in schools include the green and blue chromis, cardinalfish, and dartfish, for example. When ordering from an online fish store, make sure you do your research on how specific fish species behave to ensure they’ll school (or at least coexist) with your current fish.

Is the effort required to maintain a saltwater aquarium worth it?

Yes! Many aquarists dream of owning thriving saltwater aquariums. You have a tiny piece of the ocean in your home, featuring magical and exotic fish that can only survive in saltwater.
