Lyretail Angelfish Aquarium Care Guide

Keeping Lyretail Angelfish in an aquarium requires the right conditions.

Aquarium Information

• Care level: intermediate
• Temperament: peaceful
• Diet: omnivore
• Minimum tank size: 120_gallons
• Compatibility: Generally compatible with most peaceful to semi-aggressive reef-safe fish. Can be kept in pairs or harems (one male with multiple females) in sufficiently large aquariums. Avoid keeping with very aggressive species or other Genicanthus males unless the tank is exceptionally large.
• Special requirements: Requires a well-established reef aquarium with plenty of live rock for hiding and grazing. A varied diet of high-quality marine flakes, pellets, frozen foods (mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, spirulina), and live plankton is essential. Good water quality and stable parameters are crucial for their health. Provide ample swimming space.
