Masked Angelfish Aquarium Care Guide

Keeping Masked Angelfish in an aquarium requires the right conditions.

Aquarium Information

• Care level: advanced
• Temperament: peaceful
• Diet: omnivore
• Minimum tank size: 180 gallons
• Compatibility: Generally peaceful with other fish, but can be territorial with conspecifics or similar-looking species if not introduced carefully. Best kept as a single specimen, a mated pair, or a harem (one male with multiple females) in very large aquariums.
• Special requirements: Requires a mature, stable reef aquarium with ample swimming space and live rock for grazing and hiding. A varied diet of high-quality frozen foods (mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, spirulina-enriched foods) and marine flakes/pellets is crucial. Good water quality and strong filtration are essential. Due to its deep-water origin, it prefers subdued lighting initially and a gradual acclimation to brighter conditions.
