Description

A 6-inch dwarf angelfish with a bright yellow front half and tail, a deep royal blue rear half, and a blue "saddle" above the eye. It is an active, territorial grazer that should be kept one per tank and not with other Centropyge species, though it coexists well with most peaceful to semi-aggressive community fish. Provide a mature tank with abundant live rock for grazing and caves for retreat, plus two to three daily feedings of spirulina, marine algae, and meaty foods; it is a notoriously delicate shipper, so choose specimens already eating prepared foods.

Reef Safe

With caution

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.
