Description
The Japanese Angelfish is a stunning dwarf angelfish featuring a vibrant blue body with an orange-yellow face and fins, often adorned with iridescent blue spots. This species is highly sought after for its beauty and can be a territorial but rewarding addition to a mature marine aquarium. It thrives in tanks with plenty of live rock for grazing and hiding.
