An eye-catcher for the marine aquarium

The Pomacanthus maculosus , better known as the Yellowbar Angelfish, is an impressive angelfish that immediately catches the eye in any marine aquarium. Thanks to its distinctive yellow band and deep blue coloration, this fish adds a vibrant accent to your underwater world. Our specimens are tank-bred, which means they have been bred in captivity and are therefore better adapted to aquarium life than wild-caught species.

Advantages of tank-wide models

• Tank-bred fish are accustomed to life in an aquarium, which ensures a higher survival rate and less stress.
• They are generally healthier and stronger because they are not exposed to the risks of capture and transport from the wild.
• With tank-bred specimens, you contribute to the conservation of natural populations in the ocean.

Suitable for larger marine aquariums

The Yellowbar Angelfish can grow into a large fish of about 40 cm. Therefore, a spacious aquarium, preferably at least 500 liters, is necessary. This species feels most at home in a well-designed reef aquarium with sufficient hiding places and swimming space. Take into account its territorial nature, especially towards other angelfish.

• Minimum aquarium size: 500 liters
• Ideal water temperature: 24-26°C
• pH value: 8.1 – 8.4
• Suitable for experienced aquarists

Nutrition and care

The Pomacanthus maculosus is an omnivore. In the aquarium, it accepts a varied diet of both plant-based and animal-based food. Think of high-quality granules, frozen food, spirulina, and seaweed. Variety in the diet keeps the fish healthy and helps it retain its beautiful colors.

• Feed alternately with granules, frozen food, and seaweed.
• Ensure sufficient hiding places and open swimming space.
• Regular water changes and stable water parameters are essential.
