Its bold coloration and graceful swimming make it a captivating centerpiece for dedicated marine aquarists.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Overview<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The French Angelfish (*Pomacanthus paru*) transforms beautifully from its juvenile black body with vertical yellow bands to a striking adult, displaying dark scales rimmed in golden yellow, a white mouth, and often blue facial accents. These large, disc-shaped fish are a regal presence, known for their deliberate movements and curious nature. Adults often form monogamous pairs, gracefully navigating reef structures in their natural habitat, showcasing a truly elegant disposition.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Care Level<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Intermediate. The French Angelfish is generally hardy once acclimated but requires specific care to thrive. They are semi-aggressive and highly territorial, especially towards other angelfish or similarly shaped tankmates. While juveniles may exhibit cleaning behavior, adults are not reef-safe, tending to nip at corals and invertebrates. They are best suited for fish-only systems or very large, carefully planned mixed-species aquariums.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tank Essentials<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A minimum tank size of 800 litres is recommended for a single adult French Angelfish, with significantly larger volumes (over 1000L) ideal for a pair to mitigate territorial disputes and provide ample swimming space. Maintain stable water parameters: pH 8.1-8.4, and a temperature range of 22-28\u00b0C. Provide plenty of live rock for grazing and hiding spots.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Diet<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As omnivores, French Angelfish require a diverse diet. In the wild, they consume sponges, algae, bryozoans, and tunicates. In your aquarium, offer high-quality angelfish preparations containing sponge matter, marine algae (like spirulina and nori), and meaty foods such as mysis shrimp or krill. Feed small portions multiple times a day to ensure optimal health.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why Buy From Us<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When you buy French Angelfish online from Corais de Vidro, you invest in healthy aquarium fish responsibly sourced and meticulously cared for.
