These fish have been Tank Bred. In nature they occur in the Indo-Pacific. They live around: Australia, the Society Islands and the Cocos-Keeling Atoll. They live on outer reef slopes or in lagoons, where they hover around a place of safety, such as a crevice or cave.
Multibar Angelfish occur in pairs or small groups. They are also protogynous hermaphrodites. Meaning they start life as female and turn male when older.
Tank Bred Barred Angelfish In the Aquarium.
It is important to have plenty of nooks or crannies where your Tank Bred Multicar Angelfish can explore and feel at home. Keepers may also want to get a jump guard to stop any accidents.
Tank Bred Multibar Angelfish are omnivores and do best when fed a varied diet. They will accept frozen Mysis shrimp and enriched frozen brine shrimp. We enrich all our frozen food with seachem garlic guard and Atvitol vitamins. These are great for keeping fish healthy by providing them with the nutrition otherwise lost in frozen food. In doing so, these additives support their immune system and increase longevity.
Tank Bred Multibar Angelfish will eat masstick and graze on marine algae, that can be secured to the side of the tank with clips. Over time they will accept high-quality pellet or flake. We adapt all our Angel Fish to aquarium life before they leave us. We focus on their health, and most are eating a good quality flake food and/or pellet before being offered for sale.
Dwarf Angelfish can live in a mixed group or alone. It may also be possible for them to be in pairs. This depends on a few variables. Feel free to give us a call with any questions on this matter.
