West African Angelfish
Snapshot: Juveniles flash electric blue with yellow tails, but as they mature, orange edges spark up and the blue melts into yellow and olive green.
Other tidbits: Can grow up to whopping 46cm or so. Distributed throughout the warm waters of the eastern Atlantic, cruising the coast of West Africa.
Bare bones must know: Live-rock fish-only system, or reef aquarium with care. Well established and mature aquarium. Larger aquarium required.
Aquarium set-up: These fish thrive in a smooth-running setup, where they can cruise around and snack on algae like it’s an all-you-can-eat buffet on the (live) rocks. Angelfish crave cozy hideouts for safety and snoozing so create their secret sanctuaries in your tank for peace of mind and happy fish. 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!
