Price: $99.95

Ask a question about this product

The Maculosus or Yellowbar Angelfish is one of the largest species of angelfish reaching almost 20 inches (50 cm), though most available specimens are less than 12 inches (30 cm). In some of localities of the Arabian Peninsula large adults are sold at fish markets and are considered good-eating. The picture above shows the adult coloration. The characteristic "yellow band" is clearly visible and will become somewhat more prominent as the fish ages.

It is hardy and easy to care for once it has acclimated, an excellent pet for large fish only aquariums. It can do well with other Pomacanthid members and also with other larger and rather aggressive species. However sometimes it is aggressive toward other larger angelfish, especially of the same genus. Provide an environment with lots of open space for swimming as well as rockwork with some large crevices for retreat.
