The Arabian Angelfish (Pomacanthus asfur) is a fish well known for its use in saltwater aquariums, even though it tends to be a shyer specimen compared to the other, sometimes aggressive, angelfish. The mother will lay the eggs in a scattered pattern so that the young won't fight for food and territory.
