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?

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".

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. ))

guess it'll be an excuse to upgrade tanks
