Chaetodontoplus melanosoma: the Black and Gold Angelfish

The Chaetodontoplus melanosoma, also known as the Black Mask Angelfish, is a species native to Indonesia and the Philippines. Its body is primarily black or very dark brown, accented by a stunning gold to bright yellow trim on the caudal fin, pectoral fins, and the edge of the scales. This elegant combination makes it a distinctive fish in a well-balanced reef aquarium.

Quite hardy, the Chaetodontoplus melanosoma is perfectly suited for large reef aquariums. It adds an exotic and elegant touch with its contrasting colors and relatively calm behavior towards other species, provided it has enough space.

Care Conditions for Chaetodontoplus melanosoma

  • Recommended tank volume: 400 liters minimum
  • Water temperature: between 24°C and 28°C
  • Origin: Indonesia, Philippines, South China Sea
  • Behavior: calm but territorial towards its own kind
  • Reef compatibility: moderate (may nip at LPS polyps or clams)

The aquarium should include plenty of natural hiding spots and open areas for swimming. The Chaetodontoplus melanosoma likes to isolate itself or hide among live rocks. It can be kept alone, in pairs, or in a group of non-aggressive dwarf angels, provided they are introduced simultaneously.

Feeding the Chaetodontoplus melanosoma

This fish is omnivorous with a preference for meaty and plant-based foods. A rich and varied diet is necessary to ensure its health:

  • Artemia, mysis, krill,
  • Pellets rich in spirulina,
  • Nori algae and red algae-based mix,
  • Mussel, shrimp, or white fish flesh.

Feeding should be done at least twice a day, especially if the tank contains delicate corals. A well-fed fish will be less inclined to nip at invertebrates.

A Sober and Majestic Angelfish

With its dark coat highlighted in yellow, the Chaetodontoplus melanosoma stands out for its sober and elegant aesthetics. Easy to maintain for experienced aquarists with a suitable aquarium, this fish is an excellent choice for those who wish to introduce a sophisticated touch to their reef aquarium.
