I saw a <1" French Angelfish at the LFS today. Beautiful little fish. I'd never seen one that small.
Anyway, how fast will that little guy grow into a foot long fish? How long before he is 6"?
Is it difficult to feed an angelfish that small given their need for sponge?
Thanks

Poor survivability on ones that size IME.... This is with hand caught specimens (Keys) living in a lfs in a 2K gallon system. Gorgeous fish though...

max length is 15"
you saw the black and yellow juvinile. They completely change colors as an adult. End up mostly grey-blue.
also not reef recomended.
Most angels should only be kept by experienced hobbyist with a large, well established tank.
I know they're real beautiful, but save yourself the agony.
