The Asfur Angelfish is a striking addition to my 100-gallon tank. It has vibrant yellow and blue stripes that really stand out. I’ve had it for six months and it’s still active and healthy. I do have to be careful around smaller corals, but overall it’s a beautiful and bold fish.
Kylie Dowd –
Great fish with a strong presence. It’s not aggressive toward other fish, but I noticed it occasionally nips at smaller invertebrates. I’ve added more space and better hiding spots to help manage that behavior.
