Tank Size : 100 gallons Mature Size : 16 inches Diet : Omnivore Range : Coral Sea, Indo-Pacific, Maldives, Sri Lanka Other Common Names Imperator Angelfish Description The juvenile emperor angelfish is black with circular white and blue stripes starting at the tail. Although sought after for its colors, in captivity, the adult coloration may not be as striking or brilliant. The changing angelfish will vary in coloration and pattern as it transforms from juvenile to the adult coloration. Diet Feed a varied diet of Spirulina and other marine algae. Include meaty marine based foods such as mysis shrimp, raw shrimp, and commercially prepared angelfish formulas. It is often said that when juveniles change to their adult coloration, they are never quite as vibrant as when they change color in the wild. Because of this, it is also recommended to also offer vitamin enriched foods that enhance color.-
