angelfish, it should be offered as much variety and live foods as possible
to get it to eat properly.

Comments from people who have kept this fish:
We have had our three spotted angel with two varieties of clowns and damsels. They all get along quite well. The angelfish feeds well on flakes, brine shrimp and marine greens, and moves well through the 45 gallon tank. Loves to be cleaned by our tiger shrimp who tends to hide from the three spotted angel.
