The Ornate Angelfish (Genicanthus bellus) belongs to the family named Pomacanthidae. Typically reaching a max size of about 6.0 inches in length, the Ornate Angelfish is semi-aggressive in nature and 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 unlikely and there are no external signs of sexual differences. Genicanthus bellus should not be housed in a tank less than 55 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.
