Multibarred Angel (Asia Pacific)
The Multibarred angel is a stunning and uncommon fish. It is overall pearly white with black zebra stripes over its entire body, and yellow highlights on its lower fins and lips. Males and females are visually identical.
The Multibarred angel can grow to be up to 4.5 inches long and needs an aquarium of at least 70 gallons. It does not appreciate living with other angelfish and may become aggressive to them, however it is typically non-aggressive with other types of fish. If several dwarf angelfish are to be kept together the aquarium must be large enough and they must all be added at the same time.
Angelfish may nip on many types of corals, especially LPS corals, clam mantles, sponges, and sometimes soft corals. They do not typically bother 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. The Multibarred angel can be a finicky eater, and it should be fed a varied diet 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.
