French Angelfish are a favored choice among large angelfish enthusiasts. These fish are initially black with striking yellow stripes, but as they age, they develop a lighter hue with golden accents on their back. **French Angelfish** can grow up to 16 inches and require a minimum tank size of 150 gallons. They can be territorial and aggressive towards similar species, so it's best to keep them in larger tanks unless they are a mated pair. While they can be kept in reef tanks, they may nip at corals and invertebrates, so their compatibility depends on the individual fish's temperament.

These angelfish thrive in tanks with plenty of mature rock for hiding and grazing on algae. As omnivores, their diet should include spirulina, mysis, brine shrimp, sponges, and high-quality flake and pellet foods. Feeding them at least three times daily is recommended. **French Angelfish** juveniles display different colorations as they mature, transitioning from juvenile to adult hues.
