Description
Please note that the product information displayed is provided by manufacturers, suppliers and other third parties and is not independently verified by Petco.
Angelfish come in a large array of colors, patterns and sizes that make them very appealing to all levels of hobbyists. This fish can be shy, so providing a lot of hiding places will help reduce its stress. While acclimating it is a good idea to keep the aquarium dimly lit. They generally feed on a wide variety of algae, sponges, tunicates and other benthic organisms, however, since these are aquacultured they are much more accustomed to prepared diets. The Regal Angel can grow to be about 10" in size, so ample swimming space is necessary. Full grown adults of this angel will need around 125 gallons; however, you can get away with smaller aquariums when they are juveniles. These aquacultured specimens are coming from Bali, Indonesia. The Regal Angel has a yellowish body with white and white vertical striations. Their dorsal fin is primarily yellow while there are also distinctive blue and orange markings on the other fins.

ACCLIMATION: Avoid exposing new aquatic life to bright lights after opening the box. Turn off aquarium lights prior to floating aquatic life. Allow the sealed bag with your new fish to float in your aquarium for at least 15 minutes (but no longer than one hour) to ensure the water in the bag matches the temperature in your aquarium. A bacteria booster addition can assist with the addition of new aquatic life. Petco offers free water testing in store to determine if your water is safe for the addition of new aquatic life. DIET: A well-balanced diet consists of a variety of flakes, pellets, freeze-dried and frozen foods, depending on the species. FEEDING: Feed sparingly and no more than fish can eat in 1-2 minutes. Overfeeding can quickly foul the water, especially in smaller aquariums.
