Behavior
The Golden Angel requires a minimum tank size of 50 gallons with plenty of hiding places and live rock for grazing. This angelfish is best kept as the only dwarf angel in a tank. It will adjust rapidly if it is introduced as one of the first fish in a well-established aquarium, or if it is introduced and maintained with very peaceful tank mates.
Diet & Feeding
Omnivore, small meaty items, angelfish and herbivore preparations, and live sponges.
Cautions
The Golden Angel, like other dwarf angels, are hermaphroditic, difficult to breed, and indistinguishable in color from male to female
