King Angelfish
Snapshot: Adults flaunt a deep midnight blue body, highlighted by a bold white stripe that drops down from the dorsal fin, stopping just short of the pelvic fin. That dorsal fin is edged in a slick yellow trim, matching the bright yellow caudal and pectoral fins. Juveniles rock more of a fiery orange coat with one standout white stripe and a bunch of cool blue ones to match.
Other tidbits: Can grow up to 36cm or so. Distributed throughout the tropical Eastern Pacific Ocean from the Sea of Cortez to Ecuador and Peru.
Bare bones must know: Live-rock fish-only system, fish-only system, or reef aquarium with care.
Aquarium set-up: Include plenty of live-rock for hiding and 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!
