🐠 Daily Fish Fact: 🐠

Adult Queen Angelfish are selective feeders and primarily eat sponges. Their social structure consists of harems which include one male and up to four females. They live within a territory where the females forage separately and are tended to by the male. Breeding in the species occurs near a full moon.

Fishtober Day 12 - Queen Angelfish

Check out the creator! ^ [@/fishiscrazy]

The photos above are of a juvenile, transitional stage and an adult Queen Angelfish.

Yesterday's fish was also an Angelfish but this is the Queen Angelfish!! They're 45cm long Angelfish which live in the Western Atlantic -  from Florida, the Gulf of Mexico, the Caribbean Sea and Brazil.

As juveniles, they act like cleaner fish however as adults they eat  sponges, tunicates, jellyfish, corals, plankton, and algae - like yesterday's Blue Ring Angelfish!

They're able to interbreed with their sister species, the Bermuda Blue Angelfish to have a Townsend Angelfish. These fish are, surprisingly, fertile and can breed with either of their parent's species. Pretty cool!

I went to a farm today! They had fish too! Yellow Cichlids and Common Chubs! We could feed the goats too.

Compilation of my favorite fish, :)

I also like koi fish but I couldn't find a really nice photo of any.

Today’s adventure! I took a walk on the beach this morning to look for some shells (cause when you’re a sea witch who loves shiny, pretty things you can never have too many) and pick up a couple pounds of trash. But I also returned a juvenile blue angelfish to the ocean and found an entire abandoned boat!
