How Fast do Koran Angels Grow?

SourAngelfish · Nov 21, 2020

Curious as I’ve changed a lot of things around and have settled for a 90 gallon with 30 gal sump. Haven’t done stocking list completely but would really like to do one of the larger angels like the pomacanthus and holacanthus. This tank will be up for 3 years max until I will upgrade or find a new home for the fish. (I work at my LFS so this is pretty easy to accomplish). I’d just like to give one a go, have it be the king of the tank for a while, by that three year mark I will have my own place and at that point I will either have a bigger tank or will be tearing down this 90 so this tank isn’t really suited for longevity.

I would think that most larger angels (and larger fish in general) have a logarithmic growth rate. Fast growth rates when small in order to put on more weight and size to make them less likely to be eaten. But I have 0 knowledge, theoretical or practical in regards to this. Hopefully this'll work as a bump and somebody with actual angelfish knowledge can chime in!
