The Emperor Angelfish, a.k.a. Imperator Angelfish, is a stunningly beautiful fish as an adult. The Adult Emperor has a blue body with yellow-green horizontal stripes beginning behind the pectoral fin and stretching to its tailfin. The face has a distinct "mask" look, with its eyes covered by a dark band and white around the mouth area. The Indian Ocean Emperors have a bright yellow tailfin. These fish do well in large aquariums and prefer lots of swimming room to feel comfortable. The Emperor Angel should be kept in a tank of 120 gallons or larger, so it'll have ample room to roam. They will spend most of their day grazing algae that grows on live rock. They should not be kept with other Angels and only one should be kept per tank. They should be reserved for established tanks with at least 6-12 months growth of green micro algae, or even better some live rock and the experience to go with it.

  • @eimhing7 and exactly how am I a weirdo? I just prefer the looks of freshwater angelfish more. And I like saltwater angelfish, just not as much as freshwater.

  • @Pop12646Okami ....wierdo..

  • I prefer freshwater angelfish. They look a lot prettier to me.

  • @SaltwaterFishVideos my friends is about 15 years old and the 200 gallon its in is almost to small...

  • NICE OPENING,GOOD FISH

  • i like your fisfh =D

  • I live in Hawaii and snorkel daily. I see the coral being stepped on and broken by fish collectors. Most saltwater fish aquarium fish (90%) are still wild caught. Here there are fish so rare that we can no longer see them, because they have all been collected for tanks. Check out forthefishesdotorg, not my site but explains the truth. Research the destruction that tank released lionfish are causing in the atlantic. Sigm the petition "reef fish are not ornaments"!

  • @forthefishes Most of these fish (90%) are now captive bred so to be perfectly honest we are doing them a favour by prolonging the species , many breeders release more back to the wild than they sell , we call it conservation , you may have a different word for it , plundering maybe , its just not true , we do much much more help than harm.

  • they get a foot long

  • No way I would put an Emperor in anything less than a 240 gallon if I planned on keeping it for the duration of its life. They outgrow 125 gallon tanks pretty quick.
