Flagfin Angelfish
Tank Setup:
Tank Size: A minimum tank size of 125 gallons is recommended for a single Flagfin Angelfish. If you plan to keep more than one, a larger tank is needed to reduce territorial aggression.
Aquascape: Create plenty of hiding spots and caves using live rock. This will provide shelter and mimic their natural habitat.
Water Parameters:
Temperature: 72-78°F (22-26°C)
pH: 8.1-8.4
Salinity: 1.020-1.025
Ammonia, Nitrite, and Nitrate should be kept at minimal levels (regular water testing is essential).
Tankmates:
Compatible Fish: Flagfin Angelfish can be kept with other non-aggressive fish, but it's advisable to avoid other angelfish of the same genus unless the tank is exceptionally large.
Aggressive Tankmates: Avoid aggressive or territorial fish, as the Flagfin Angelfish can be sensitive to stress.
Diet:
Varied Diet: Feed a varied diet that includes high-quality flake or pellet food, supplemented with frozen or live foods like brine shrimp, mysis shrimp, and chopped seafood.
Frequency: Feed small amounts multiple times a day rather than one large meal.
Behavior:
Territorial Nature: Flagfin Angelfish can be territorial, especially if introduced into the tank after other fish. Monitor them closely during the introduction phase.
Compatibility: While some Flagfin Angelfish are more peaceful, others can be aggressive. Individual personalities may vary, so observe their behavior and be prepared to make adjustments if needed.
Health:
Quarantine: Always quarantine new fish before introducing them to the main tank to prevent the spread of diseases.
Clean Water: Maintain excellent water quality to prevent stress-related illnesses.
Breeding: Breeding Flagfin Angelfish in captivity can be challenging. They are known to be egg scatterers, and success in breeding them often involves a dedicated effort, including a well-established tank, proper diet, and optimal conditions.
