Description
The Scribbled Angelfish is a stunning and highly prized species with a striking pattern of bright blue scribbles on a black and yellow background. This large angelfish requires expert care due to its sensitivity to water conditions and dietary needs. Typically semi-aggressive, it may show territorial behavior, especially in smaller aquariums. While it can be housed in a reef tank, caution is necessary as it may nip at corals and invertebrates. A spacious tank of at least 180 gallons with ample hiding spots and live rock will help this fish thrive in captivity. The Scribbled Angelfish is best suited for experienced aquarists committed to its specialized care needs.
