| 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.
