{"product_id":"swallowtail-angelfish-male","title":"Swallowtail Angelfish-male","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Swallowtail Angelfish, *Genicanthus semifasciatus*, is a captivating and active addition to the marine aquarium. Unlike many other angelfish species, the Swallowtail Angelfish is generally considered reef-safe, making it a popular choice for mixed reef tanks. Males and females exhibit distinct colorations, with males displaying a more vibrant yellow and black pattern, while females are typically a more subdued yellow with less prominent markings. This species is known for its graceful swimming and peaceful demeanor, though they can be territorial towards conspecifics or similar-looking fish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA minimum tank size of 70 gallons is recommended to provide ample swimming space and rockwork for grazing and hiding. They thrive in a well-established aquarium with plenty of live rock, which provides natural food sources and shelter. The Swallowtail Angelfish is a planktivore in the wild, feeding on zooplankton and algae. In the aquarium, their diet should consist of a variety of high-quality marine foods, including Spirulina, marine algae, mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, and angelfish-specific preparations. They will also graze on algae in the tank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSwallowtail Angelfish can reach a size of approximately 7 inches in the aquarium. While they are hermaphroditic, breeding in captivity is very challenging. Due to the distinct sexual dimorphism, it is possible to distinguish between males and females. Introducing a male and female together may result in pairing, but successful spawning and rearing of fry are rarely achieved in home aquariums.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQuick Facts\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScientific Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Genicanthus melanospilos\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Intermediate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperament:\u003c\/strong\u003e Peaceful\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Omnivore\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReef Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Reef Safe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion of Origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Indo-Pacific\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Adult Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Tank Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 70 gallons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Discover Aquatics","offers":[{"title":"Small","offer_id":53075158106401,"sku":"TT-6096-S","price":180.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Medium","offer_id":53075158139169,"sku":"TT-6096-M","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Large","offer_id":53075158171937,"sku":"TT-6096-L","price":220.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0893\/4044\/4961\/files\/Screenshot-2026-01-07-183043.png?v=1784977332","url":"https:\/\/discoveraquaticsshop.com\/products\/swallowtail-angelfish-male","provider":"Discover Aquatics Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
