Description
An excellent addition for the larger home aquarium, the Gray Poma Angelfish makes a great addition to a fish only aquarium and is popular for it’s coloration and beauty. For long term success, this fish must be kept in a large aquarium of 180 or bigger. The Gray Poma Angelfish is not a good candidate for mixing with other Angelfish but will get along in a peaceful community aquarium with other fish.
Diet
Feed a varied diet consisting of large chunks of meaty foods. These foods include krill, raw table shrimp, squid, clam and mussel. It is also a good idea to occasionally supplement with some type of herbivore diet containing spirulina and supplement with a sponge fortified formula specifically for Angelfish.
