The Rock Beauty Angelfish (Holacanthus tricolor) belongs to the family named Pomacanthidae. Typically reaching a max size of about 7.9 inches in length, the Rock Beauty Angelfish is semi-aggressive in nature and risky 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 tricolor 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, a stable cave/sheltering ledge, and a well established aquarium.
