Charles Vance –
The Lamarck Angelfish has been a delightful addition to my 75-gallon reef tank. It swims actively and doesn’t bother other fish. I feed it a mix of Mysis and pellets daily, and it eats well. The coloration is vibrant and it looks healthy after a few weeks.
Dan Scott –
I was impressed by how peaceful it is compared to other angelfish. It doesn’t chase or nip at corals. I’ve been feeding it Nori and pellets, and it seems to enjoy the variety. It’s a good choice for intermediate reef keepers.
