Virginia Berry –
Bought this angelfish for my 120-gallon reef tank. It’s been two months and it’s active but not aggressive. I’ve added larger fish to help deter it from chasing smaller ones. Water parameters are stable and the fish looks healthy.
Vanessa Tucker –
The fish arrived healthy and has settled in well. I’m cautious about keeping it with small corals, but it doesn’t seem to harm them. It’s a bit territorial, so I’ve given it a large rock cave to retreat to.
Leah Hunter –
It’s a bit larger than expected for its size. I’m still adjusting the tank setup to manage its behavior. Not ideal for a small tank, but good for a mature reef system with proper space.
