Description: An Angel from the West coast of Africa. Africanus Angels do eat all prepared foods. As they grow, a larger aquarium is a must. They also tend to become more aggressive as they grow. UV sterilization is highly recommended, as the African Angel is prone to parasitic infection. They should not be placed in reefs, and caution is recommended when mixing with other Angelfish.
