I’ve had this angelfish for six months in a 75-gallon tank. It’s active and colorful, though it does chase smaller fish occasionally. I’ve added larger fish to avoid conflicts. Overall, it’s a striking addition to the tank.

The fish looks beautiful and stays calm most of the time. I noticed it becomes more active during feeding. I keep a close eye on tankmates to prevent any incidents.

It’s not the most peaceful fish, and I had to adjust my tank setup to avoid aggression. Still, it’s a unique and visually appealing species.
