The Gray (Black) Angelfish is a fascinating and sizable angelfish, perfect for larger aquariums. These angelfish display a range of colors from gray to black, with younger ones appearing more bluish-gray. Their bodies are adorned with thick, yellowish-white vertical stripes.

The Gray (Black) Angelfish can grow up to 22 inches and requires a tank of at least 220 gallons. In smaller tanks, they may show aggression towards similar species, so a very large tank is necessary if you plan to keep multiple Gray (Black) Angelfish.

This angelfish is not suitable for reef tanks, as it tends to nip at both hard and soft corals and some invertebrates like clams. Providing plenty of established rock will offer hiding spots and algae for grazing between meals.

As omnivores, Gray (Black) Angelfish need a diet rich in both meaty and plant-based foods. Spirulina, marine algae, mysis, and brine shrimp, along with high-quality flake and pellet foods, are essential. With the right tank size and diet, the Gray (Black) Angelfish can be a wonderful addition to a fish-only aquarium.
