Description
The hardy Maculosus Angelfish appears similar to Asfur Angelfish in both Adult and Juvenile coloration, the only difference being the tails. Juveniles adapt better to captivity, although adults will usually adapt as well with a little more time. The Maculosus Angelfish is best to not be kept with other full sized Angelfish, as long as a tank of 100 gallons or more is used.
Diet
Feed a varied diet consisting of large chunks of meaty foods. These foods include krill, raw table shrimp, squid, clam and mussel. It is also a good idea to occasionally supplement with some type of herbivore diet containing spirulina and supplement with a sponge fortified formula specifically for Angelfish.
