Definatly one of the largest and most attractive of all the Angelfish. However, its size and its nature to become quite aggresive and boistrous as it grows older makes it difficult at some. |

The Queen Angelfish (Holacanthus ciliaris) belongs to the family named Pomacanthidae. Typically reaching a max size of about 18.0 inches in length, the Queen 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. Holacanthus ciliaris should not be housed in a tank less than 180 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, a stable cave/sheltering ledge, and a well established aquarium.
