🐠 Singapore Angelfish (Chaetodontoplus mesoleucus)
Marine Angelfish • Coral Grazer • Display Species • Indo-Pacific Beauty
 
📋 The Singapore Angelfish (Chaetodontoplus mesoleucus) is an elegant and medium-sized marine angelfish, featuring a velvety black body, bright yellow mask, and a distinct white belly patch. The dorsal and caudal fins are lined in yellow, giving the fish a polished, tuxedo-like appearance.
It is one of the most visually balanced and peaceful angelfish, making it suitable for both large community aquariums and FOWLR (Fish-Only-With-Live-Rock) setups. Native to Indo-Pacific coral reefs, it thrives in mature tanks with ample rockwork for grazing and stable water conditions.
Juveniles resemble adults in coloration but have subtler contrasts that intensify as they mature. The Singapore Angelfish combines beauty, composure, and adaptability — a classic favorite for aquarists seeking calm sophistication in motion.
