Angels, Large
42 species
Large angelfish are a group of vibrant and often large-bodied marine fish that belong to the family Pomacanthidae. They are known for their striking coloration and patterns, which make them a popular choice for larger saltwater aquariums. These fish typically require more space and a varied diet, including sponges, tunicates, and algae. It's important to research individual species for compatibility, as some can be aggressive or may nip at corals and invertebrates. Providing plenty of hiding places and a well-maintained environment is crucial for their well-being. Due to their size and dietary needs, they are recommended for experienced hobbyists with larger tanks.
