Keeping the Passer Angel in an Aquarium

The Passer Angel, also known as the King Angelfish, is a beautiful and impressive fish that can add a touch of splendor to any aquarium. Here are some of the things you should know about keeping this fish as a pet:

• Size: The Passer Angel can grow up to 12 inches (30 cm) in length, so it requires a large aquarium (at least 180 gallons).
• Diet: In the wild, the Passer Angel feeds on sponges, tunicates, and other sessile invertebrates. In captivity, they can be fed a diet of meaty foods such as shrimp, squid, and clams, as well as marine algae.
• Water parameters: The Passer Angel prefers warm, stable water with a temperature range of 72-78°F (22-26°C) and a pH between 8.1 and 8.4. They also prefer water with a high oxygen concentration and moderate flow.
• Behavior: The Passer Angel is generally peaceful but can become territorial as it matures. It's important to provide plenty of hiding places and territories within the aquarium to prevent aggression between fish.
• Coolest stuff: Passer Angels have a unique color pattern that changes as they age. Juveniles have a dark blue body with bright yellow vertical bars, while adults have a deep blue body with thin, vertical white stripes. They also have a distinctive, protruding snout that resembles a bird's beak.
