Koran Angel Juv Med

About this fish

Koran Angel Juv Med is a juvenile marine angelfish offered for the home saltwater aquarium under the scientific name Pomacanthus semicirculatus. In practice, this fish is kept for its bold, changing patterns as it matures, and it also benefits most aquariums that include live rock so it can graze on natural foods throughout the day.

Features:

• Marine angelfish with vibrant, bold patterning that often changes as it grows
• Juveniles typically adapt best when introduced slowly and given a quiet place to settle
• A live-rock aquarium is helpful, as angelfish often graze and pick at surfaces
• Best kept with realistic space as it grows; larger Pomacanthus need room to swim
• Can be coral-incompatible in reef tanks, since many angelfish may nip or pick at corals and clam mantles
• Diet works best when offered a varied routine of quality frozen foods and sponge-based formulas, along with algae
• Often benefits from keeping only one angelfish per tank unless the system is very large
