Additional Notes

The Majestic Angel is also known as Bluegirdled Angelfish and Navarchus Angel.

Euxiphipops are some of the most disease susceptible, and least-responsive to conventional treatment. Keep your eyes open for color loss and change of behavior as it will tell you of an impending outbreak.
