DID YOU KNOW THE FOLLOWING?
Emperor angelfish do not like to be together with their own species. When they see their species, they want to send them away by swimming towards them. Their babies have long been known as a separate species and the underlying reason of this impression is that the baby Emperor angelfish have quite different colours and patterns than the adult fishes. The babies keep away from the adults and protect themselves from them. In this way, they stand clear of aggressive attitudes. They can wander around the area and grow freely.
