Faith Mackenzie –
The Cherub Angelfish arrived healthy and active. It’s easy to care for and fits well in a 24-gallon tank. I noticed it’s semi-aggressive, so I kept it away from small shrimp. Overall, a good addition to a beginner reef setup.
Ava Fisher –
It’s vibrant and active. I’ve observed it swimming in the middle of the tank and not showing signs of aggression toward other fish. Only a bit cautious around larger fish, but otherwise peaceful.

It’s a nice fish to have, but I had to watch it closely with my clownfish. It didn’t attack, but it did nudge it occasionally. Works fine in a 24-gallon tank with proper hiding spots.
