Provide shaded retreats and gradually acclimate the fish to a brightly illuminated reef aquarium. Use a secure mesh cover, particularly during acclimation or territorial disputes. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA single female can be maintained in a 125-gallon aquarium. A male-female pair or harem requires substantially more room, with approximately 180 gallons or larger providing more appropriate swimming space and separate retreats. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDiet and Feeding\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bellus Angelfish is primarily a planktivore that feeds in the water column. In nature, it consumes zooplankton, including small drifting organisms, while also taking limited amounts of algae and benthic invertebrates. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOffer mysis shrimp, enriched brine shrimp, copepods, finely chopped krill, calanus, small plankton-based frozen foods, chopped clam or shrimp, and high-quality slow-sinking marine pellets. Spirulina-enriched flakes, frozen algae blends, and other vegetable-based foods can be included for dietary variety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeed two to three small portions daily, allowing food to remain suspended in the water column where the fish can capture it naturally. Newly introduced specimens may benefit from more frequent small feedings. Confirm that the female is actively eating and maintaining a full body profile, especially when housed with fast, competitive feeders. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTemperament and Tankmates\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe female Bellus Angelfish is generally peaceful and less territorial than many other marine angelfish. Suitable tankmates include tangs, rabbitfish, butterflyfish, peaceful wrasses, clownfish, cardinalfish, anthias, gobies, and other non-predatory community fish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep a single female, a compatible male-female pair, or a carefully planned harem consisting of one male and several females. Do not keep multiple males together in the average home aquarium. When creating a group, provide a substantially larger system and introduce the fish carefully to reduce territorial conflict.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis species is a protogynous hermaphrodite. In the absence of a male, a dominant female may gradually transition into a male and develop the corresponding adult coloration. Bellus Angelfish naturally form harems containing one male and several females. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvoid highly aggressive fish that may prevent it from feeding or force it to remain hidden. Large dottybacks, aggressive triggers, predatory groupers, and exceptionally territorial angelfish may be unsuitable companions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eReef Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bellus Angelfish is considered \u003cstrong\u003ereef safe\u003c\/strong\u003e.
