Fast Facts

Members of the genus Genicanthus are planktivores and will not bother corals or clams in the aquarium, making them the perfect reef angel. Lamarcks' angelfish is white overall, with black lines on the body, black on the dorsal fin and small black spots on the tail. The tail in this species, and other members of this genus, is lyre-shaped, which is indicative of a speedy open water swimmer. It readily adapts to life in captivity, accepting aquarium fare and acclimating to the conditions found in a well-maintained aquarium. Therefore, it is important to provide them with plenty of swimming room. Like all Genicanthis, they tend to be passive toward most other fishes.
