Description
The Tigerpyge is a naturally occurring dwarf angelfish hybrid between Eibl's Angelfish and the blue-eyed Indian Ocean Lemonpeel, showing a golden-yellow body overlaid with fine orange-brown tiger bars, electric blue fin margins, and a variable amount of black on the tail and rear body. It reaches roughly 4-5 inches, is generally peaceful with unrelated tankmates but territorial toward other dwarf angels, so only one should be kept per tank unless the system is very large. Provide a mature aquarium with plenty of live rock for grazing and hiding; like its parents it may nip at LPS, zoanthids, and clam mantles, so reef keepers should stock it with caution.
