French Angelfish
Pomacanthus paru
Black body with bright yellow rimmed scales. Very hardy and personable, often becoming "pet-like" and recognizing their owners, but grows quite large.
About the Angelfish - Large Family
Larger Angelfish are the centerpiece of many large aquariums due to their stunning patterns and size. Unlike their dwarf cousins, these species grow quite large and require significant swimming space. They are generally not considered reef-safe as they have a tendency to nip at fleshy corals and clams. Most are semi-aggressive and should be the dominant fish in the tank.
