Bellus Angelfish (Genicanthus bellus)

The Bellus Angelfish is one of the few truly reef-safe angelfish species, prized for its graceful form, peaceful nature, and striking sexual dimorphism. This bonded male-female pair displays the full spectrum of the species’ beauty: the male features bold black, white, and electric blue markings, while the female showcases a more subtle but equally elegant palette of silver and soft blue. Ideal for larger reef tanks, they bring motion, harmony, and a rare flash of deepwater elegance.

Tank Requirements

  • Minimum Tank Size: 90 gallons (larger preferred for pairs)

  • Environment: Open swimming space with caves and overhangs

  • Flow: Moderate to strong

  • Lid: Recommended — Bellus Angelfish can be skittish and jump when startled

These fish are active midwater swimmers that benefit from well-oxygenated, stable conditions and a mature reef environment.

Natural Behavior

Bellus Angelfish are found in deep reef slopes and outer reef walls in the wild. In the aquarium, they tend to occupy the mid-to-upper water column, often gliding gracefully in pairs or small harems. This species is sexually dimorphic—females can transition into males if a dominant male is lost, making it possible to establish pairs or harems under the right conditions.

Diet & Feeding

As omnivores, Bellus Angelfish require a balanced diet of both meaty and plant-based foods:

  • Frozen mysis shrimp and finely chopped seafood

  • Enriched brine shrimp

  • Spirulina-based pellets and flakes

  • Marine algae sheets (nori)

Feed 2–3 times per day to maintain energy, coloration, and health.

Tankmates & Compatibility

  • Temperament: Peaceful and social

  • Reef Safe: Yes — does not nip at corals or clams

  • Best With: Other peaceful community fish, wrasses, anthias, tangs, and gobies

Avoid aggressive or territorial species, especially in smaller tanks. Bellus Angelfish can coexist with other Genicanthus species in very large aquariums, but best results are seen when kept as a bonded pair.
