- The **Xanthurus Cream Angelfish** is a captivating full-sized angel hailing from the Western Indian Ocean. This fish features a predominantly cream body, a vibrant yellow tail, and black fins edged with white. Males and females look alike.
Reaching up to 7 inches when fully grown, the **Xanthurus Cream Angelfish** can thrive in a 90-gallon tank. Despite its smaller size, it should not be housed with similar angels due to its aggressive and territorial nature. It is not ideal for reef aquariums as it tends to nip at corals and invertebrates like clams. Some aquarists have successfully kept them in reef tanks, but success depends on the individual fish's temperament.
The **Xanthurus Cream Angelfish** is relatively easy to care for. A diet rich in Spirulina, algae, and shrimp will keep it healthy. Providing plenty of established rock will offer hiding spots and grazing opportunities. -
