Bold Colouration with Elegant Patterning
The Chaetodontoplus mesoleucus is instantly recognisable by its striking colour combination: a deep blue body with fine vermiculated patterns, a bright yellow face, and a pale tail. The contrast between its intricate markings and rich base tones adds a sophisticated charm to any marine aquarium. Native to the Indo-Pacific, this angelfish offers both vibrant colour and graceful presence.
Moderate Care for Dedicated Aquarists
This species thrives in mature marine systems with stable water parameters, moderate lighting, and plenty of swimming space. While not typically reef-safe due to potential nipping at corals and invertebrates, the Chaetodontoplus mesoleucus is well-suited to FOWLR (Fish Only With Live Rock) environments. A varied diet including algae, marine pellets, and sponge-rich frozen foods will help maintain its health and colour vibrancy.
A Beautiful Addition to Display Tanks
With its flowing movement and vivid colouration, the Chaetodontoplus mesoleucus is an ideal centrepiece for community marine tanks. Peaceful yet confident, it can coexist with other non-aggressive fish species, bringing life and visual harmony to the aquarium.
