The Majestic AngelFish is a striking addition to my 180-gallon tank. It has beautiful blue and yellow markings that stand out. It’s not overly active but stays calm in its space. I’ve had it for three months and it’s thriving with proper water parameters.

First time keeping a larger angelfish. The fish is calm and colorful, though it does need a big tank. I’ve maintained the water parameters as recommended and it’s been healthy since setup.
