Blue-Striped Angelfish

Description

Blue-Line Angelfish is as striking as an adult as it is in it’s juvenile coloration. This very hardy fish is a great addition to a fish only aquarium. Shy and secretive upon initial introduction, this fish will quickly learn to come out and eat and be more aggressive once it’s territory is established. It is not a good idea to mix full size angelfish with each other unless the aquarium is 180 gallons or more.

Juveniles are marked with blue and white vertical lines. Adult coloration is very different with electric blue stripes and a dark mustard body color.

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.
