Marine Fish Perfect Health Promise
All marine fish have a Perfect Health Arrival guarantee. For the following reasons, we cannot guarantee beyond that.
A number of different reasons can affect why a marine fish does not settle into its new environment. These range from:
- Unsuitable water conditions: incorrect pH, high ammonia and nitrite levels.
- Tank bullies: some marine fish are very passive and will not mix well with more boisterous tank mates.
- Incorrect tank size: please research the fish you are buying, as some will become stressed in a tank that is too small.
If you have any problems on arrival
Please contact us straight away and we will extend your guarantee until the fish is healthy again. You must call on the arrival day to activate this.

Majestic Angelfish (Pomacanthus navarchus)What is its maximum size?
The Majestic Angelfish can grow to approximately 28–30 cm (11–12 inches) in length. It is an active swimming species and requires a large aquarium with plenty of open swimming space, live rock and suitable hiding places. Juveniles have different colouration from adults, gradually developing their distinctive blue, yellow and orange markings as they mature.
Where is its origin and where is it exported from?
The Majestic Angelfish originates from the Indo-Pacific region, particularly around Indonesia, the Philippines, Papua New Guinea, northern Australia and parts of the western Pacific. It is commonly exported for the aquarium trade from countries such as Indonesia and the Philippines.
Is it reef compatible?
No, the Majestic Angelfish is not considered fully reef safe. It may nip at LPS and soft corals, zoanthids, sponges, feather dusters, tube worms and clam mantles. Some individuals may behave better than others, but it is generally best suited to a fish-only or fish-only-with-live-rock aquarium.
What should I feed it?
Feed a varied diet consisting of marine algae, spirulina, high-quality marine angelfish preparations and enriched frozen foods such as mysis shrimp and brine shrimp. Foods containing sponge material are particularly beneficial as part of a varied diet. You can also offer chopped seafood and quality marine pellets. Feed several small portions throughout the day to maintain good health, colouration and condition.
How many can I keep?
Best kept singly in most home aquariums. Majestic Angelfish can become territorial, particularly towards other large angelfish and fish with similar body shapes. Keeping multiple large angelfish together requires an exceptionally large aquarium, careful selection and introduction. For most home aquariums, a single specimen is recommended.
How compatible is it with other fish?
Generally moderately aggressive and territorial, particularly as it matures. It can be suitable for a large marine community aquarium with robust, compatible tankmates. Suitable companions may include larger tangs, wrasses, butterflyfish and other appropriately sized marine fish. Avoid keeping it with timid species or overly aggressive tankmates. Provide plenty of swimming space and hiding places to help reduce territorial behaviour.
