French angelfish

Swim, Snorkel, Dive, See, Meet, Watch the French angelfish

The French Angel Fish changes color 3 times during its life. Thus the juvenile, from 2.5 to 7.5 cm in size, has a black body, striped with 6 yellow stripes. At an intermediate stage of growth, its body becomes grey with a dark blue tint and thousands of small yellow scales appear. Two vertical yellow lines appear on its head and body. Its eyes and mouth are circled in yellow. Adults with a height between 25 and 45 cm, he has a very dark bluish-grey livery with yellow scales on the flanks and a white mouth. The French fish swims to a depth of about 40 meters and likes to be close to places where it takes refuge when it feels threatened. Nevertheless, it is not very shy and allows itself to be approached by divers.

Food

French angelfish feed on sponges, sea squirts, polyp, and algae. It sometimes decontaminates other fish.

Breeding

French angelfish is female at birth and then becomes a male when it reaches a certain length. Male and female are undifferentiated. It attains sexual maturity when it reaches a length of around twenty centimeters. The french angelfish lives in pairss. Spawning takes places as the fish swim back and forth to the surface to release their reproductive fluid in open water. The eggs and larvae drift with the current like plankton. A few weeks later, the larvae fall to the seabed where adult life begins.
