Scribbled Angelfish Chaetodontoplus duboulayi Description: The Scribbled Angelfish is a favorite among aquarists and relatively easy to keep. It derives its name from the scribbled pattern over the body and large dorsal and anal fins. It may be shy at first and should not be placed with aggressive tank mates. Once acclimated, however, it may become more aggressive. Recommended Tank Size: The Scribbled Angelfish requires a large area to swim, so it needs a 100 gallon or larger aquarium with many hiding places and live rock for grazing. Reef Compatability: Not a good candidate for a reef tank, the Scribbled Angelfish is prone to nip at stony and soft corals (sessile invertebrates) and clam mantles. Food and diet: The diet for the Scribbled Angelfish should consist of Spirulina, marine algae, mysid or frozen shrimp, and other meaty items. Return to Angels
