Cream Angelfish
Apolemichthys xanthurus
The Indian Yellow tail Angelfish isn't as bright and striking as others that are available, but makes up for it in its easiness to keep. Best kept individually as they may be aggressive towards similar looking fish.
It requires a tank of 300 litres or large with plenty of rock work and hidingplaces. The Indian Yellow tail angel is not reef compatible as it will eat sponges, corals and clams,. The Indian Yellow tail angel is not a fussy eater and can be fed an assortment of foods including, flake, live and frozen foods.
