A beautiful but extremely difficult fish to keep. Mostly due to its prefered diet of sponges. It will be very shy at first, but with a young specimen and a well established crop of live rock growth the chances of survival are better. Initiate feeding with sponge-containing foods for angelfish. Only one per tank, and due to its desire for sponges and habit of picking at corals it is not reef safe. |

The Flagfin Angelfish (Apolemichthys trimaculatus) is sometimes called a Threespot Angelfish. It belongs to the family named Pomacanthidae. Typically reaching a max size of about 10.0 inches in length, the Flagfin Angelfish is semi-aggressive in nature and risky 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. Apolemichthys trimaculatus should not be housed in a tank less than 75 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 plenty of hiding places and a well established aquarium.
