Maculosus Yellowbar Angelfish Pomacanthus Maculosus

Overview:
The Maculosus Yellowbar Angelfish, adorned with a vibrant yellow bar and spots against a deep blue body, is a striking marine specimen. This large angelfish species can grow up to 50 cm (20 inches) in captivity, making it a magnificent centerpiece for any sizeable marine aquarium.

Origin:
Native to the Indo-Pacific region, from the Persian Gulf to the western sections of Indonesia, and up towards Taiwan, these angels prefer reef environments with plenty of hiding spaces.

Feeding:
An omnivorous diet suits the Maculosus Yellowbar Angelfish best. Offer a variety of foods including marine algae, spirulina, mysis shrimp, and other meaty foods, along with high-quality angelfish preparations that contain sponges. Consistent feeding of a balanced diet will ensure vibrant colors and health.

Tank Mates:
Given its size and temperament, it’s best housed with other semi-aggressive to passive species that can hold their own. Avoid small, docile fish and invertebrates prone to nipping. Ideal tank mates include larger wrasses, tangs, and other angelfishes, ensuring plenty of space for all.

Aggression:
The Maculosus Angelfish can show territorial behavior, especially towards conspecifics or similarly shaped fish. Adequate space and a well-structured environment with hiding spots can mitigate aggressive interactions.

Experience Level:
Suited for the intermediate to advanced aquarist, this species requires a well-maintained tank and a keen eye for dietary and health needs. Patience and experience in managing larger marine aquariums are essential.

Water Parameters:

  • Temperature: 22-26°C (72-79°F)
  • pH: 8.1-8.4
  • Salinity: 1.020-1.025
  • Ammonia/Nitrite: 0, Nitrate: <20 ppm

A stunning addition to any large marine aquarium, the Maculosus Yellowbar Angelfish thrives in a well-cared-for environment, bringing a splash of color and elegance to your aquatic world. Ensure your setup meets their needs for a harmonious and vibrant aquarium.
