Tiger Angelfish

Description

Apolemichthys kingi - This is a holy grail of angelfish. The Tiger or King Angelfish is uncommon in its wild habitat around South Africa, and was only relatively recently introduced to the aquarium trade. Because they prefer deeper water where dive conditions are rough, they've remained a rare species in the trade which few people have seen in real life.

This species is somewhat shy but semi-aggressive as an adult and reef safe with caution like others in the Apolemichthys genus. The maximum adult size is 8" - 10"; and the minimum aquarium size is 150 gallons for adults. It's imperative to use an acclimation box when introducing these young ~2" - 3" fish to a tank with established fish. Angelfish do best in a mature aquarium with large areas for grazing.
