Chaetodontoplus septentrionalis X Black Phantom - T.B.

PRICE ON REQUEST.

Chaetodontoplus septentrionalis X Black Phantom, is a very rare medium-sized angelfish. To be more precise, it's a hybrid between the septentrionalis and the unknown species which goes by the name Black Phantom. How this fish will turn out is still a mystery because none of these fish are fully grown yet. But expect them to be a perfect cross with characteristics from both parent species (a dark back and more or less pronounced blue horizontal stripes) as is often seen in angelfish hybrids. A truly unique fish for the true angelfish lovers!

Like all other angelfish it's hermaphroditic and the most dominant fish will turn into a male when there is no other male around. These fish are quite peaceful but be careful combining them with fish a lot smaller or larger and other (dwarf)angelfishes. In nature, sponges and tunicates are an important part of their diet. Wild specimens acclimated easiest in a tank with a lot of sponges and live food. Tank bred specimens are familiar with dry food and are much easier to wean on frozen and dry food. These fish aren't considered reef safe and you need to be especially careful with ornamental sponges, LPS, tube worms and clams. Keeping them well fed seems to reduce the risk so make sure to feed them a proper varied diet of algae and meaty foods to make them really happy!

This fish is Tank Bred and will adapt to your aquarium easier compared to a wild caught specimen!
