Bellus Angelfish Pair

Description

Bellus Angelfish Pair, Genicanthus bellus, Overview:

These Bellus Angelfish are captivating members of the Genicanthus genus and are characterized by their striking appearance. Just like other members of the Acanthuridae family, they exhibit the distinctive feature of having scalpels or spines on both sides of the caudal peduncle, which serves as a defense mechanism. These spines are often brightly colored, acting as a deterrent to potential threats. The Bellus Angelfish is known for its beauty and is a remarkable addition to marine aquariums.

Bellus Angelfish Ecology:

Originating from the coral-rich waters of the Indian Ocean and Western Pacific, Bellus Angelfish inhabit reef environments. They are commonly found around areas such as Indonesia, where the ocean’s vibrant ecosystems provide a suitable habitat for these unique fish. As with many marine species, these angelfish play a role in maintaining the balance of their habitat, often feeding on algae and contributing to the overall health of the reef.

In the Aquarium:

To provide a comfortable and stimulating environment for your Bellus Angelfish Pair, it’s essential to replicate their natural habitat within the aquarium. Incorporate plenty of hiding spots, nooks, and crannies to allow them to establish their territory and feel secure. Utilizing structures like Aquaroche and Aquaroche shelves can assist in this regard. Additionally, considering the use of a jump guard is advisable to prevent any accidental escapes.

Bellus Angelfish thrive when offered a diverse diet. High-quality pellets and flake foods, such as Jbl Maris, serve as excellent staples. They should also be provided with ocean nutrition seaweed, which can be securely attached to the tank’s side using clips. Enriched frozen foods like mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, and krill are eagerly consumed, especially by larger specimens. Enhancing frozen food with supplements like seachem garlic guard and Atvitol vitamins contributes to the angelfish’s well-being, supporting their immune system and disease resistance.

In addition to prepared foods, Bellus Angelfish appreciate live foods like copepods and amphipods, which can be cultivated in an attached refugium. The angelfish we offer for sale are acclimated to aquarium life, typically consuming dry and/or frozen foods before leaving our facility.

Whether you choose to keep a Bellus Angelfish Pair together or singly, proper care and consideration are essential.
