Blue Ring Angelfish

 Blue Ring Angelfish: A Magnificent and Iconic Angelfish

The Blue Ring Angelfish (Pomacanthus annularis) also called the Annularisis Angelfish is a breathtakingly beautiful species, renowned for its majestic appearance and graceful swimming. While juveniles display a stunning pattern of concentric white and light blue stripes on a dark body, the adult form is a true showstopper. It features a predominantly yellow to brownish body covered in delicate horizontal blue stripes, with the iconic and vibrant blue ring behind its gill plate. Its intelligence and commanding presence make the Bluering Angelfish a prized centerpiece for any large, well-established marine aquarium.

Why the Blue Ring Angelfish is a Great Choice:

• Iconic Appearance: The vibrant colors and distinct blue ring make this angelfish instantly recognizable and highly sought-after.
• Fascinating Transformation: Watching its dramatic change from juvenile to adult colors is a rewarding experience for any aquarist.
• Graceful and Stately: Its elegant swimming and large size add a sense of majesty and calm to your display.
• Intelligent and Active: Its engaging personality and constant exploration add a lively dynamic to your tank.

Important Note: The Blue Ring Angelfish is a large fish that requires a minimum tank size of 180 gallons due to its adult size and need for ample swimming room. It is not generally considered consistently reef-safe and is best suited for experienced aquarists.
