Jodie Hall Sr - 2010-05-12 The Queen angelfish is certainly a beauty. It was one of the first salt water fish available because they could be collected in the keys. I caught one for myself in about 1972 and it lived 6 years in a 55gal tank that had no living rock or coral. It did well from 1.5" to 10" on a diet of frozen brine shrimp or protozoro, freeze dried tubifex worms and flake food. This fish and several others that I kept for a long time eventually became blind, quit eating and died. From this experience I drew a hypothesis that we tend to have too much light over our aquariums so we need to provide lots of dark alcoves for the fish. They will come out to eat! That's just my idea. Good luck.
David Brough - 2011-12-15 Thanks for adding your experience. The lighting theory is interesting, I don't think I've ever run across it before. Cheers!
Janeth - 2006-05-30 Im doing a report on the Queen Angelfish in Phoenix but it doesn't say who are it's enemies. Cool Website though. I want to give a shout-out to all of my friends and family. From Janeth!
A most beautiful angelfish, a "queenly" specimen indeed is the Queen Angelfish!
