Fast Facts
Found only around Japan, the Ryukyu Islands, Taiwan and Hong Kong, the Blue Line Angel was more available in the 80's, but today there are no regular imports of marine fishes from its origin, making it rarely seen in the US. Available only perhaps once yearly, those interested should contact us in advance. Chaetodontoplus septentrionalis adapts to captivity slightly more easily than other member of the genus, all of which can do well. Mild mannered as angels go. Other beautififul Chaetodontolus include the Scribbled Angel, Personifer Angel and Conspicillatus.
