Regal Angelfish Aquarium Care Guide

Keeping Regal Angelfish in an aquarium requires the right conditions.

Aquarium Information

• Care level: advanced
• Temperament: semi-aggressive
• Diet: omnivore
• Minimum tank size: 120 gallons (450 liters)
• Compatibility: Can be kept with other non-aggressive fish of similar size. May nip at corals and sessile invertebrates, especially soft corals and clam mantles. Best kept as the only angelfish in the tank unless it's a very large system with ample hiding spots and introduced simultaneously as a mated pair.
• Special requirements: Requires a well-established, mature aquarium with plenty of live rock for grazing and hiding. A varied diet is crucial, including marine algae, spirulina, mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, and high-quality angelfish preparations. They are sensitive to water quality fluctuations and require stable parameters. Often difficult to acclimate to captivity and prone to stress, making them challenging for even experienced aquarists.
