The Imperator Angelfish is fairly common in the aquarium trade. 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 Imperator Anglefish (Pomacanthus imperator) is sometimes called an Emperor Anglefish. It belongs to the family named Pomacanthidae. Typically reaching a max size of about 16.0 inches in length, the Imperator Anglefish 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 imperator should not be housed in a tank less than 100 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 stable cave/sheltering ledge.
