Venustus Angelfish

Paracentropyge venustus


(1 Reviews)

The Venustus Angelfish, Paracentropyge venustus, features a bluish-purple body with a thick yellow vertical stripe just behind the eyes and along the belly. Like many large Angelfish their appearance will change dramatically from the juvenile to adult stage. Due to aggression towards other Angelfish they are best kept singly but will do well with other larger fish.

They are not reef safe, as they will nip at soft and stony polyp corals, sessile invertebrates and clam mantles. Diet should include a variety of spirulina, marine algae, high quality angelfish preparations, mysis and brine shrimp, 3 times daily.

A gorgeous healthy Venustus Angelfish. Arrived quickly and adapted quickly. Likes to hang out with my Mimic Tang. I purchased three different species and everyone is doing well!
