Description

The hardy Koran Angelfish is one of the favorites! This beautiful specimen is perfect for the fish only aquarium. Juveniles adapt better to captivity, although adults will usually adapt as well with a little more time. The Koran Angelfish has been successfully kept with other full sized Angelfish, as long as a tank of 100 gallons or more is used.

Pictured above are the adult and juvenile variations. The blue striped color looks like many other juvenile angelfish. The Koran Angelfish is easiest to discern from the others as it has a 'semi-circle' white stripe pattern that goes with it's scientific name "Semicirculatus".

Diet

Feed a varied diet consisting of large chunks of meaty foods. These foods include krill, raw table shrimp, squid, clam and mussel. It is also a good idea to occasionally supplement with some type of herbivore diet containing spirulina and supplement with a sponge fortified formula specifically for Angelfish.
