Blue Angelfish Aquarium Care Guide

Keeping Blue Angelfish in an aquarium requires the right conditions.

Aquarium Information

• Care level: intermediate
• Temperament: semi-aggressive
• Diet: omnivore
• Minimum tank size: 180 gallons
• Compatibility: Can be kept with other large, semi-aggressive fish. Caution is advised with smaller, docile species. Typically aggressive towards other angelfish, especially those of similar size or coloration. Best kept as a single angelfish in a large tank unless a mated pair can be acquired.
• Special requirements: Requires a well-established aquarium with ample live rock for grazing and hiding. A varied diet including high-quality marine flakes, pellets, frozen foods (mysis shrimp, brine shrimp), and spirulina-based foods is essential. They are prone to nipping at corals and sessile invertebrates, making them generally unsuitable for reef tanks.
