迎接阿氏刺尻鱼前需要了解的7件事

1. 1Best Kept Alone

   Males are highly territorial toward their own kind and will fight fiercely, so keeping just one per tank is the standard approach. If housing with other species, carefully consider compatibility and tank size beforehand.

2. 2Compact Size, Up to 8 cm

   Even as an adult, it stays compact at around 8 cm at most, taking up far less tank space than larger angelfish species. Even so, be sure to provide adequate swimming room and hiding spots.

3. 3Hardy and Eats Readily

   This is a relatively hardy species that readily accepts prepared foods, which is one of its appeals. That said, it's still sensitive to sudden water quality changes, so consistent day-to-day water management remains important.

4. 4Suited to Intermediate Keepers

   While relatively approachable, it's classified as suited to intermediate keepers. It's best to have some experience with the basics of marine fishkeeping, such as water quality management and water changes, before bringing one home.

5. 5Provide Plenty of Hiding Spots

   It favors gaps in rockwork and live rock, and having places to retreat helps it settle in comfortably. As with angelfish in general, a complex rock layout is recommended.

6. 6Omnivorous with a Varied Diet

   It's omnivorous, feeding on algae and small organisms as well as prepared foods. For balanced nutrition, it's a good idea to supplement formulated feed with algae-based foods as well.

7. 7Prepare the Tank Before Introduction

   Before introducing one, make sure the tank is fully cycled and the water parameters are stable. Adding it to a newly set-up tank too soon can cause unnecessary stress.
