Regal Angelfish Pygoplites Diacanthus

Please check the delivery dates below before placing your order.

Regal Angelfish Pygoplites Diacanthus Origin: This species is found across the Indo-Pacific region, from the Red Sea to South Africa, and eastwards towards the Tuamotu Islands. It prefers coral-rich areas in lagoons and outer reefs, typically at depths ranging from 1 to 48 meters. Feeding: Regal Angelfish are omnivores with a preference for a varied diet. In captivity, they thrive on a mix of mysis shrimp, marine algae, spirulina, and high-quality angelfish preparations. To ensure optimal health and coloration, it's essential to provide them with a variety of foods. Tank Mates: Choose peaceful to moderately aggressive fish as tank mates. Good companions include larger Wrasses, clownfish, and some species of tangs. Avoid keeping them with overly aggressive species or with very small, timid fish that may be outcompeted for food. Aggression: Regal Angelfish are generally peaceful but can show territorial behavior towards their kind or similar-looking species. It's best to house only one per tank unless the aquarium is very spacious, with plenty of hiding spots. Experience Level: They are recommended for intermediate to advanced aquarists due to their specific dietary and environmental needs. A well-established tank with stable water conditions is crucial for their well-being. Water Parameters:

• Temperature: 75-82°F (24-28°C)
• pH: 8.1-8.4
• Salinity: 1.020-1.025 sg
• Ammonia/Nitrite: 0 ppm
• Nitrate: <10 ppm

Ensure the aquarium is mature with a well-functioning biological filter to keep water parameters stable. Regular water changes and monitoring are vital to maintain a healthy environment for your Regal Angelfish.
