Aquacultured Juvenile Regal Angelfish
Angelfish come in a large array of colors, patterns and sizes that make them very appealing to all levels of hobbyists. This fish can be shy, so providing a lot of hiding places will help reduce its stress. While acclimating it is a good idea to keep the aquarium dimly lit. They generally feed on a wide variety of algae, sponges, tunicates and other benthic organisms, however, since these are aquacultured they are much more accustomed to prepared diets. The Regal Angel can grow to be about 10" in size, so ample swimming space is necessary. Full grown adults of this angel will need around 125 gallons; however, you can get away with smaller aquariums when they are juveniles. These aquacultured specimens are coming from Bali, Indonesia. The Regal Angel has a yellowish body with white and white vertical striations. Their dorsal fin is primarily yellow while there are also distinctive blue and orange markings on the other fins.
