The Regal Anglefish (Pygoplites diacanthus) belongs to the family named Pomacanthidae. Typically reaching a max size of about 10.0 inches in length, the Regal Anglefish is semi-aggressive in nature and sensitive 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. Pygoplites diacanthus should not be housed in a tank less than 100 gallons in size. Tank parameters should be maintained with ph level between 8.1 - 8.4, temperature between 72 - 79 degrees fahrenheit, and a salinity between 1.020 - 1.024. Some of the environmental concerns that you should strive to replicate in your home aquaria to promote succesful acclimation include plenty of hiding places, a well established aquarium, high water quality, and a peaceful environment.
