Adults can grow to 18 inches. Marine Angelfish are A fairly hardy fish, And can live for a very long time if given proper care. Angelfish will eat most aquarium food and Some Species will eat smaller fish and invertebrates. It is important to provide them primarily with marine algae. A large tank with some Species and lots of live rock, algae and sponges makes it easier to care for this species. Temperament can be an issue with some Angelfish. They are considered semi-aggressive and may quickly become the dominant fish in your tank. Given their potential adult size of 18 inches and their intolerance of their own kind, you should plan on keeping only one marine angelfish in your aquarium. Angelfish have been noted to be fairly disease resistent but you still need to take proper pre- cautions and use a quarantine tank before introducing them into your main tank.
