Koran Angelfish Pomacanthus Semicirculatus Overview: The Koran Angelfish, known scientifically as Pomacanthus semicirculatus, is a visually striking and highly sought-after marine species. Renowned for its vibrant blue body adorned with electric yellow and white accents, this fish transforms its coloration as it matures, offering a dynamic visual experience. Reaching up to a foot in length in captivity, it becomes a centerpiece in any large marine aquarium. Origin: Native to the Indo-Pacific region, the Koran Angelfish thrives in reef environments. From the Red Sea to the coasts of Indonesia and Australia, this species is accustomed to the diverse topography of coral reefs, which provides an essential reference for recreating its habitat in captivity. Feeding: Omnivorous by nature, the Koran Angelfish requires a balanced diet of marine algae, spirulina, mysis shrimp, and other high-quality frozen preparations to maintain its health and vibrant coloration. Consistent feeding of vegetable-based foods will help in preventing potential aggression towards soft corals and clams due to dietary needs. Tank Mates: While juvenile Koran Angelfish can be kept with a variety of tank mates, adult individuals may become territorial. Compatible companions include larger, non-aggressive fish species and invertebrates that do not tempt its natural predation instincts. Caution is advised with other angelfish or visually similar species. Aggression: Exhibiting a moderate level of aggression, especially as it matures, the Koran Angelfish requires careful consideration of tank mates and sufficient space to establish its territory. Providing ample hiding spots and a spacious tank can mitigate aggressive behavior. Experience Level: Due to its size, dietary needs, and the complexity of recreating a suitable reef environment, the Koran Angelfish is recommended for intermediate to advanced aquarists. Ensuring a stable, well-maintained marine aquarium is crucial for its well-being. Water Parameters: Optimal water conditions include a temperature range of 72-82°F (22-28°C), a pH of 8.1-8.4, and specific gravity of 1.020-1.025. Regular monitoring and maintenance of water quality will support the health and longevity of this magnificent species. Incorporating a Koran Angelfish into your marine aquarium not only adds a splash of color but also brings a piece of the ocean's mesmerizing beauty into your home. With the right care, environment, and companions, it will thrive, offering an unparalleled aquatic display.
