This Purple Masked Angelfish also known as Venustus Angel or Blue-backed Angelfish can be a gorgeous addition to your aquarium. The amazing contrasts of Blue with Yellow will create a unique hue that will delight anyone who is an aquarist.
Purple Masked Angelfish requires a 70-gallon or larger tank with lots of live rock to hide because they are shy fish. But, once they mature and grow, the Purple Masked Angelfish matures and expands, they can be more assertive with fish of similar body size and shape. Though they are generally considered an aquarium-safe species, the Purple Masked Anglefish can be a bit aggressive towards sessile invertebrates and clammantles.
The diet of the Purple Masked Angelfish should include Spirulina as well as marine algae mysis, frozen shrimp and other meaty food items.
