This species can be one of the more challenging angels in the home aquarium, but it's not as difficult than the top selling Red Sea Regal Angel. This fish is best attempted only in an aquarium containing live rock. In a bare "fish tank" with nothing to graze on, this fish will have a tough time adapting, but in reefs or with live rock they generally fare notably better. Typically quite shy when first introduced into the aquarium, they should be provided plenty of hiding places, ideally consisting of rockwork with lots of caves. Keep only with other peaceful fishes and do not house with bold species of angels.

This species is usually quite shy when first introduced to its captive home. During this stage of the acclimation process it will spend much of its time hiding behind aquarium decor and will race for cover whenever anyone approaches the tank. For this reason, it is imperative to have several suitable hiding places for your bluering angelfish. Once it acclimates it is an aggressive feeder and can become bold with tankmates. In time, they learn to recognize the aquarist as a source of food. This species requires a large aquarium with plenty of swimming space.

In this magnificent fish there is an incredible color difference between the juvenile and adult specimens. Juveniles and small adults are good aquarium inhabitants; larger specimens can also do well, but require expert handling and should be kept only by experienced aquarists. Like most angels, larger specimens begin feeding more cautiously, but can do well in the proper hands. Provide this species with plenty of unencumbered swimming rooms as well as several suitable places to take shelter when threatened. Do not keep juveniles together, or with any other juveniles of this genus that are similar in general color.

It feeds on a wide-variety of aquarium fare, and is a bold, beautiful display animal. They may behave aggressively toward passive tankmates, toward fish introduced after they have been in a tank for sometime, or toward other angelfishes. Keep only one per aquarium.

Most French Angels collected for the trade have the yellow stripes unless they are very large, approximtely 6-8" or larger. The French Angelfish is a very hardy aquarium fish. This species should be provided with a varied diet, which should include lots of vegetable matter. Juveniles are cleaners and will sometimes pester species that are less mobile than they are. They can also display aggression toward other fish species that are similar in shape or that are introduced after the angelfish has become established in their aquarium home.

This is one of the most spectacular of all reef fishes. Popular opinion is "Pacific Regals are bad", "Red Sea Regals are good". Specimens from both regions have an equal chance of adapting, provided they're well handled. There are several areas in the Pacific that provide good specimens. None are easy, and difficulties are inherent to this species, regardless of origin. Specimens from the Pacific have a bluish chest; while those from the Red Sea and Indian Ocean have a yellow chest they otherwise look identical. Generally regarded as reef safe, most of those we sell go into reefs. A reef tank is usually the only place this fish has a chance of adapting. In a bare "fish tank" with nothing to graze on, this fish usually starves to death. This fish will not adapt if it perceives any threats from tankmates. All these same notes apply regardless where the fish is from.

This lavender and yellow beauty is occasionally exported from the Maldives. Rarely available to the trade. It will do best in a roomy tank with nonaggressive tankmates that is replete with hiding places. Like all anthias, it is best kept in a group consisting of one male and several females. Also like many anthias, live foods may be necessary to induce feeding. Introducing this fish into a tank that already contains a well-established shoal of less aggressive anthias may facilitate its acclimation. Provide clean, well oxygenated water, along with plenty of water movement and open swimming space.

Acclimation is often slow; your specimen may hide for a week or more before you even catch a glimpse of it. However, in time it will usually come out of hiding and accept live and prepared foods. Juveniles and smaller females (under 3.9 inches) adjust more readily to aquarium confines. Only one individual should be kept per aquarium, unless the tank is large. Even then you should only keep one male per tank and six or more females. These fish may also behave aggressively toward other zooplankton feeders. The color of this fish often fades in captivity, especially if it is not given a varied diet, including foods with added pigments. This species, and some of the other anthias, are prone to jumping out of open aquariums. Provide clean, well oxygenated water, along with plenty of water movement and open swimming space.

This anthias is one of the hardier members of the genus, although they can be delicate shippers. It must be kept in a spacious tank with optimal water quality. Provide it with plenty of hiding places and do not add it to a tank with any remotely aggressive tankmates. However, once it acclimates, it can take care of itself (that is, it can be kept with moderately pugnacious species like pygmy angels and small dottybacks, but until it acclimates, it can be wimpy). If you want to have a group, they should only be housed in a large tank of over 100 gallons. They will do fine singly.

Males have a bright red dorsal fin and lack red bands on the tail. The females are yellowish-orange above, pale lavender to white below and the dorsal fin is a paler red, especially the front portion.

They are best kept in groups consisting of one male and several female six or more females and a single male. Provide clean, well oxygenated water, along with plenty of water movement and open swimming space.

A popular aquarium fish that does great in captivity. It's only drawback- as with probably half of the fish that kept in aquariums- it grows very large in the wild, although aquarium specimens are typically 2"-6". Gets along will with most fishes, but the batfishes long fins are a target for potential fin nippers such as puffers.
