The French Angelfish is very common in the aquarium trade. While Juveniles may have a semi-poor track record in captivity, an Adult can do quite well. Keep with other large aggressive fish because adults can be quite boistrous and territorial. If there is insufficent algae growth for it to graze on, you must supplement dried seaweed regularly. |

The French Angelfish (Pomacanthus paru) belongs to the family named Pomacanthidae. Typically reaching a max size of about 15.0 inches in length, the French 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 paru 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, plenty of hiding places, and a well established aquarium.
