Six Bar Angel (Asia Pacific)

- The Six Bar angel is a large and impressive fish sporting bright colors and patterns. Its body is a creamy hue with five dark vertical stripes, and one white stripe behind the eye contrasting beautifully with its dark face. Its body and tail are covered in bright blue polka-dots, and the edges of its fins are also marked with blue. Males and females are visually identical.

The Six Bar angel can grow to be up to 18 inches long and needs a large aquarium as an adult, we recommend at least 220 gallons. It does not appreciate living with other large angelfish and may become aggressive to them, however it is typically non-aggressive with other types of fish.

Angelfish may nip on many types of corals, especially LPS corals, clam mantles, sponges, and sometimes soft corals. They do not typically bother SPS corals or other types of invertebrates. They feel most secure when there is plenty of live rock to hide in, as well as open space for swimming. Diet should include plenty of marine algae and Spirulina, Sponge matter, frozen Mysis shrimp, half shell clams, and other high quality meaty items. It should be fed 2-3 times a day.
