Exquisite Colouration & Rare Appeal
The Apolemichthys armitagei is a rare and highly sought-after marine angelfish known for its striking appearance. It displays a deep blue body with vivid yellow markings along the dorsal area and caudal fin, creating a vibrant contrast that stands out in any tank. Native to the Indian Ocean, this species is prized by collectors and enthusiasts alike for its bold presence and rarity in the trade.
Best Suited for Experienced Aquarists
Due to its specialised care needs, the Apolemichthys armitagei is recommended for advanced marine keepers. It requires a mature saltwater system with pristine water conditions, ample swimming space, and a diet rich in marine-based foods and algae. This angelfish may show territorial behaviour, so careful planning is needed when introducing it into community aquariums.
A Showpiece for Display Aquariums
With its regal appearance and limited availability, the Apolemichthys armitagei is ideal for display tanks and collectors’ aquariums. It adds not just visual impact but also prestige to any high-end marine setup. While not typically reef-safe, it thrives in FOWLR (Fish Only With Live Rock) systems designed to showcase rare and exotic species.
