Emperor Angelfish Pomacanthus Imperator

Overview: The Emperor Angelfish is a stunning addition to any marine aquarium. Renowned for its vibrant blue and yellow stripes, with a striking pattern that changes from juvenile to adult. This species can grow up to 15 inches in length, making it a centerpiece in larger aquariums.

Origin: Native to the Indo-Pacific region, Emperor Angelfish thrive in reef environments. They are found from the Red Sea and East Africa to the Hawaiian Islands and south to Australia and New Caledonia.

Feeding: Omnivorous with a preference for both meaty foods and algae. A varied diet including marine sponges, spirulina, mysis shrimp, and high-quality angelfish preparations is essential for their health and coloration.

Tank Mates: Suitable for a community tank with other non-aggressive species. Care should be taken with similar shaped fish or other angelfish to avoid territorial disputes. Ideal companions include larger wrasses, parrotfish, and some species of tangs and clownfish.

Aggression: Generally peaceful with other species but can become territorial, especially towards conspecifics or similar-shaped fish. Providing plenty of hiding spaces and a large enough tank can mitigate aggressive behaviors.

Experience Level: Best suited for intermediate to advanced aquarists. Their need for a varied diet and large tank size makes them more challenging for beginners.

Water Parameters:

  • Temperature: 72°F – 82°F (22°C – 28°C)
  • pH: 8.1 – 8.4
  • Salinity: 1.020 – 1.025 sg
  • Ammonia/Nitrite: 0
  • Nitrate: <20 ppm

Maintaining stable water parameters and regular water changes are crucial for the health of the Emperor Angelfish. With proper care, these majestic fish are a breathtaking addition to any marine aquarium.
