Queen Angelfish Aquarium Care Guide

Keeping Queen Angelfish in an aquarium requires the right conditions.

Aquarium Information

• Care level: advanced
• Temperament: semi-aggressive
• Diet: omnivore
• Minimum tank size: 180 gallons (680 liters) for a single adult
• Compatibility: Can be kept with other large, semi-aggressive fish. Not suitable for reef tanks with sessile invertebrates due to nipping behavior. Best kept as a single angelfish unless in a very large system with a mated pair.
• Special requirements: Requires a well-established aquarium with ample live rock for grazing and hiding. A varied diet including spirulina, marine algae, high-quality angelfish preparations, mysis shrimp, and brine shrimp is crucial for health and color. Good water quality and strong filtration are essential.
