The Swallowtail Angelfish is one of the few angelfish to exhibit dramatic sexual dimorphism.
The female is yellow dorsally, and light blue ventrally. The caudal fin is blue highlighted by a dark, blue-black edging on the top and bottom. The male is marked with a series of vertical red stripes covering the entire pale coloured body. The tail of the male is forked and is yellow with blue edges.
A minimum of a 450 litre tank or larger with lots of hiding places and live rock for grazing will offer an environment in which to thrive. An exception to most angelfish, the Swallowtail Angelfish will make a good reef dweller, and will not nip at stony and soft corals. It is also more peaceful and may be kept as a mated pair, or in small harems.
The diet of the Swallowtail Angelfish should include Spirulina, marine algae, high-quality angelfish preparations, and finely shaved mysis or frozen shrimp.
