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.
