Griffis Angelfish

Apolemichthys Angelfish should be added to well established aquariums with plenty of room to swim. Plenty of rock work, caves, cracks and crevices should be provided for grazing and hiding. Apolemichthys Angelfish may pick at sponge, tunicates, benthic organisms or sessile Invertebrates. A diet of meaty and algae based foods along with Angelfish preparations which include sponge should be provided. Care will need to be taken when handling Angelfish as they have cheekspines, avoid using nets when handling. Apolemichthys Angelfish are hermaphroditic meaning they may have both sex organs at some point in their lives. Juvenile Apolemichthys Angelfish may exhibit color or pattern differences. May be territorial towards other Angelfish with the same shape.

Being a fairly new species in the industry the Griffis Angelfish was first described in 1981 and can grow to up to 8". Similar to the Black Banded Angelfish the Griffis Angelfish is black and white but has two black upper body stripes. Typically found in the outer coral reefs, slopes, rocky ledges and drop-offs of the Pacific Ocean.

We recommend a minimum aquarium size of 125 gallons or larger for this species.
