Description

The Bicolor Angelfish, also known as the Oriole Angelfish, is a striking and vibrant fish species. The front half of its body is a deep blue, while the back half is a bright yellow or gold. These fish are known for their hardiness and are popular in the aquarium trade.

Reef Safe

With caution. Although they are generally reef safe, they may nip at soft and stony polyp corals, clam mantles, and large-polyped stony corals.

Environment

Bicolor Angelfish thrive in a well-filtered aquarium with plenty of hiding places and live rock for grazing. They prefer a tank with plenty of swimming space.

Behavior

These fish are generally peaceful but can be territorial, especially towards other angelfish. They are also known to be jumpers, so a well-sealed tank is necessary.
