More about Passer angelfish

The Passer angelfish, or King angelfish (Holacanthus passer), features vibrant colors with a predominantly blue body, orange-yellow around the mouth, and a white vertical stripe. Native to the Eastern Pacific, from the Gulf of California to Peru and around the Galápagos Islands, it's recognized for its striking appearance. The fish can reach up to 14 inches in size in the wild. While it's known in the aquarium hobby, its size and aggressive behavior can make it a challenging choice for a home aquarium.
