Description

Centropyge angels have forever been a favorite with hobbyists due to their smaller adult size, colorations and hardiness. A spectacular choice as far as angels for smaller aquariums go is the Flameback Angel. These have a unique, very stark coloration of yellow and blue, and a small adult size of about 3" allowing hobbyists to have that angel personality in a 50-gallon tank. Like any other dwarf angel, they can be aggressive with other small angels and similarly shaped/colored fish. The angels that we classify as the "pygmies" (these, Cherubs, Aurantius) are among the least safe in stony coral and clam tanks, but all should be low risk in most soft coral settings. Adults inhabit near areas of coral rubble in small groups up to 40 meters deep. Their natural range includes the Western Indian Ocean and off East Africa.

- Add to an aquarium with ample swimming room and rockwork for grazing/hiding
- For continued health, provide a varied diet of marine meaty foods, angelfish-based foods and algae-based foods
- Not Reef safe: may disturb mobile and sessile invertebrates
- Has spines over their gills, use caution when catching to avoid entangling the angel in a net
- Minimum tank size: 50 gallons
- Approximate selling size: 1.25-2.25"

ACCLIMATION: Avoid exposing new aquatic life to bright lights after opening the box. Turn off aquarium lights prior to floating aquatic life. Allow the sealed bag with your new fish to float in your aquarium for at least 15 minutes (but no longer than one hour) to ensure the water in the bag matches the temperature in your aquarium. A bacteria booster addition can assist with the addition of new aquatic life. Petco offers free water testing in store to determine if your water is safe for the addition of new aquatic life. DIET: A well-balanced diet consists of a variety of flakes, pellets, freeze-dried and frozen foods, depending on the species. FEEDING: Feed sparingly and no more than fish can eat in 1-2 minutes. Overfeeding can quickly foul the water, especially in smaller aquariums.
