Pomacanthus navarchus – Majestic Angelfish from Bali Aquarich Breeding

Pomacanthus navarchus, also known as the majestic angelfish, is one of the most colorful and fascinating fish of the reef. This splendid angel is distinguished by its vibrant attire combining electric blue, solar yellow, and intense orange touches, with a striking contrast between the facial areas and the sides. Its stocky silhouette and fluid movements make it a true king of the reef tank.

Breeding by Bali Aquarich – A Reference in Marine Aquaculture

This specimen of 2 to 3 cm is bred by Bali Aquarich, a globally recognized entity for its expertise in marine fish breeding. Raised in captivity within a controlled environment, each individual benefits from rigorous health monitoring, without wild capture, ensuring an ideal acclimatization to aquarium life.

Maintenance Conditions

• Recommended minimum volume: 500 liters
• Temperature: 24°C to 26°C
• pH: 8.1 to 8.4
• Decor: massive rocks, overhangs, and numerous hiding places
• Moderate to strong water flow

This fish requires a significant swimming space and a complex decor to explore and rest. It is advisable to introduce juveniles into a stabilized tank to promote balanced growth.

Behavior and Compatibility

Pomacanthus navarchus can be territorial as an adult, especially with other angelfish or similar species. It can be kept alone or as a pair in very large volumes. Its compatibility with corals is variable: it may nibble on LPS or clams if poorly fed or stressed.

Feeding

• Enriched marine pellets (proteins and spirulina)
• Artemia, mysis, chopped seafood
• Fresh or dried algae (nori)
• Omnivorous diet with a majority of plant-based foods recommended

A varied and frequent feeding is essential to preserve its colors and limit undesirable behaviors towards the living decor.
