The Cortez Angelfish is a large angelfish growing to 18+ inches. In the juvenile phase, it features black, yellow, and blue striping. The adult phase is blue with a spotted midsection, and yellow behind the head.
Large angelfish are incredible to see as they are such a centerpiece in their environment. They require a lot of room to swim and essentially demand the whole territory as their own. In general, large angelfish shouldn’t be kept with other angelfish due to their bold nature. They get along with most reef fish and in the right conditions, are easy to care for. Large angelfish graze the reef looking for algae, coral, and invertebrates, so they are not considered a reef safe fish.
