Wendy Greene –
I bought this angelfish for my 75-gallon tank. It’s active and colorful, though it does show aggression toward smaller fish. I’ve had to remove a few small shrimp and snails. Still, it’s a striking addition to the display and fits well in my setup with proper spacing.
Piers Alsop –
The fish arrived healthy and looks vibrant. I’ve kept it for three months now and it’s grown steadily. It’s not the most peaceful fish, but it’s impressive in appearance and adds a lot of visual interest to the tank.
Connor Jones –
It’s aggressive and I had to move some of my invertebrates. The tank size is adequate, but I wish it came with more guidance on compatible species. Still, it’s a unique and eye-catching fish.
