Other tidbits: Can grow up to 18cm. Range extends from the Eastern Indian Ocean and the tropical waters of the Pacific Ocean. Bellus Angelfish can switch sexes, turning from female to male and back again.
Bare bones must know: Live-rock fish-only system, fish-only system, or reef aquarium.
Aquarium set-up: Create a sanctuary with plenty of hideaways and live rock for grazing. Maintain an aquatic utopia by nailing the basics: rock-solid water quality with top-notch filtration and routine partial water changes.
Feeding: Angelfish are omnivorous champs. Keep 'em happy with a smorgasbord of high-quality marine flakes, nutrient-rich algae like nori, live treats, and frozen crustaceans like brine or mysis shrimp, and top-notch frozen blends.
AQT note: All our fish feast on a diet of seaweed, marine pellets, flakes and frozen treats under our care. Keep the feast going in your tank!
