The **Queen Angelfish** is a highly sought-after species among larger angelfish. Reaching up to 18 inches, the adult **Queen Angelfish** is a stunning addition to any aquarium. It is often the centerpiece in aquatic displays.

In its juvenile stage, the **Queen Angelfish** features a yellow body that darkens towards the tail, adorned with light blue vertical stripes. As it matures, its body transforms into a vibrant mix of yellow and blue with golden accents. Notably, it has a blue spot above its eyes and yellow fins.

In smaller tanks, **Queen Angelfish** can be aggressive towards other angelfish, but they are captivating when kept in male-female pairs. Given their potential size of 18 inches, they require an aquarium of at least 120 gallons. A well-established rock environment is beneficial, providing hiding spots and algae for grazing.

Like many angelfish, **Queen Angelfish** may nip at hard and soft corals and clams, so caution is advised when adding them to reef tanks. As omnivores, their diet should include Spirulina, algae, and mysis shrimp, with multiple daily feedings to ensure their well-being.
