| Fast Facts | AVAILABILITY NOTE Jump on it immediately when available! Members of the genus Genicanthus are planktivores and will not bother corals or clams in the aquarium, making them the perfect reef angel. The Masked Swallowtail Angelfish readily adapts to life in captivity, accepting aquarium fare and acclimating to the conditions found in a well-maintained aquarium after they've adjusted. These fish are active and spend most of the daylight hours swimming about in mid-water. Therefore, it is important to provide them with plenty of swimming room. |
