The Potter’s Angelfish is a beautiful addition to my reef tank. Its vibrant orange body with blue marbling stands out. It’s active and peaceful, and it’s adapted well to the tank conditions. I feed it marine flakes twice a day and it eats readily.

I’ve had this fish for three months now and it’s thriving. The coloration is vivid and the fish shows interest in the reef structures. It’s a great choice for a small reef tank with proper lighting and diet.

The fish arrived healthy and was already active in the tank. The blue and orange pattern is stunning. I’ve noticed it’s not aggressive and prefers to stay near the back of the tank. Feeding is simple with the recommended flakes.
