This beautiful specimen is not as aggressive as other angelfish. And as such, requires a relatively aggressive free environment to get acclimated in. Recommend adding this specimen before adding more aggressive tankmates. |

The Blueface Angelfish (Pomacanthus xanthometopon) is sometimes called a Yellowface Angelfish. It belongs to the family named Pomacanthidae. Typically reaching a max size of about 15.0 inches in length, the Blueface Angelfish is semi-aggressive in nature and moderately hardy in stamina. It's more active during the daytime and less at night, and will hang out across the entire tank. According to FishDB current data, captive breeding success is unreported and there are no external signs of sexual differences. Pomacanthus xanthometopon should not be housed in a tank less than 140 gallons in size. Tank parameters should be maintained with ph level between 8.1 - 8.3, temperature between 77 - 79 degrees fahrenheit, and a salinity between 1.020 - 1.023. Some of the environmental concerns that you should strive to replicate in your home aquaria to promote succesful acclimation include extra swimming area and plenty of hiding places.
