Koran Angel

Been reading comments on the Koran angel, and I see that they grow to be fairlyy large, what's the minimum recommended tank size for one of these beauties as an adult?

[Jerry W]

Having seen large specimens in marginal tanks, I'd think a tank in the range of 180 would be a minimum. Large thick fish if properly raised.

Yea, at least a 180, if not bigger. I had one for a while, when I sold it it was just starting to lose its juvi colors, and it was already 6".

[Kahuna Tuna]

What Jerry said, a 180 is about a bare minimum size for any Pomacanthus or Holacanthus IMO. Korans will get large and are very bold and energetic fish and would do better with a very big tank. I really like this fish though and find them to be an underappreciated species, very beautiful and hardy.

You are right Tuna, I really loved the colors and personality of mine. Maybe one day I will have the proper tank to get one again.

Here was mine when I was selling it (( in a holding tank right after I moved. ))
