The Lemonpeel Angelfish needs plenty of vegetable matter in its diet. Make sure to give it lettuce leaves, and good spirulina-angelfish formula.

This fish is moderately difficult to keep.
Maintenance:
This angelfish survives mainly on algae so make sure and give it a good spirulina formula. It is important that you feed angelfish all kinds of live, frozen, and prepared formula foods. Pygmy angelfish are known to eat mostly algae in the wild, so a diet rich in vegetable matter is essential. There are several good commercial foods available including Formula II and Angel Formula.
