Chaetodontoplus duboulayi – Ornate Angelfish from Bali Aquarich Breeding

Chaetodontoplus duboulayi, also known as the ornate angelfish, is a spectacular species originating from the Western Pacific. This fish displays an intense and contrasting coloration, combining electric blue, bright yellow, and deep black, with a characteristic eye spot at the back of the body. Our specimens measure between 4 and 6 cm and come from responsible breeding at Bali Aquarich.

An Unforgettable Appearance

This angelfish from the Pomacanthidae family features a dark blue face mask striped with yellow, a dark body with spotted sides, and striking yellow fins edged with blue. Its elongated silhouette and elegant movements make it a true jewel for large reef aquariums.

Behavior and Compatibility

Chaetodontoplus duboulayi is territorial and assertive. It can be kept alone or in pairs in an aquarium of at least 500 liters. It cohabits with other robust and dynamic fish but can be aggressive towards other angelfish or similarly shaped species.

It is incompatible with corals: it may peck at polyps, LPS, clams, and sponges. Therefore, it is best suited for a fish-only or fish-dominant tank.
