The most endearing member of the genus Centropyge (Dwarf angelfish family). Centropyge argi is everything regular sized dwarf angelfish are, except in a really small package. They are sold in sizes ranging from an inch to 3 inches. At 3 inches, centropyge argi is fully grown and will remain at that size.

They are commonly known as Cherub Angelfish, Atlantic pygmy angelfish and simply, the pygmy angelfish. They possess a yellow face and a deep royal blue throughout their bodies with electric blue linings on their dorsal and anal fins.

They hail from the Caribbean ocean, from South America, Florida and the Gulf of Mexico. They’re pretty cheap fish as far as angelfish go, priced at $20 to $30 USD, these little angels are a very affordable dwarf angelfish for marine aquariums big or small. They are regularly available and their price reflects that fact.

Despite their size they are a feisty little ball of aggression and can usually defend themselves against larger more aggressive fishes, but they must have space to retreat and hide. Do not add two cherub angelfish into a small tank, one of them will most likely sustain serious injuries. I’ve heard of cherub angelfish harassing a smaller one in a 30 gallon tank until they die. If you want a pair of them, you have two options. Buy a mated pair or introduce both of them together (Only in a large tank) and hope they form a pair eventually.

Due to their small size the cherub angelfish can actually be housed in aquariums as small as 20 gallons. This make centropyge argi uniquely qualified for those that want an angelfish, but lack an aquarium large enough for one. Of course it is recommended that you get the biggest tank you can for your fish. But smaller specimens under 1.5 inches should do fine in a 20 gallon.

Centropyge argi are grazers in their natural habitat. Like surgeonfish, they scan the rock throughout the day for food. They feed on detritus, tiny crustaceans and a wide variety of algae.

A balanced diet should be given in a saltwater aquarium. A wide range of foods should be given, variety is important. Feeding them a single type of food for too long is generally a bad idea. Although there have been hobbyists that have fed them new life spectrum for long periods of time with no ill effects. It seemed like they were doing great in fact. They should be fed a frozen food that has both meat and algae (Formula One, Formula Two), algae and nori sheets as well as a pellet from a reputable brand like New Life Spectrum.

The Pygmy Angel Formula by Ocean Nutrition is just about the perfect food for dwarf angels. Ingredients such as kelp, krill, squid,squid, vitamins and minerals and much more are used in this frozen food. Prior to freezing, the cubes are mixed with these ingredients. Pygmy Angel Formula is only available in frozen form i believe.

The Multicolor angelfish (Centropyge Multicolor) is a deep water angel that live at depths from 50 to 200+ feet in the wild. So named because of the myriad of colors this fish has. Its body is white while its chest has a patch mixed with yellow, orange and red. Its tail is yellow while its anal and dorsal fins are blue. The multicolor angel’s most striking feature is its crown, a small patch of neon blue and purple lines that is also found on very rare Centropyge Nahackyi.

Like the Flame Angelfish, they are commonly thought to come from Hawaiian waters but are actually collected from Fiji, Marshall Islands and the Cook Islands.

Centropyge Multicolor tend to be pricey due to the fact that they’re collected at deeper depths. Expect to pay upwards of $120 for one. Some deep water dwarf angelfish tend to fare poorly in captivity, not so for the multicolor angelfish. It is a very hardy fish once fully acclimated.

Look out for swim bladder problems as they may have been damaged during collection. If they are brought up too fast their swim bladder will start to expand, collectors solve the problem by poking it with a needle. Done incorrectly, severe damage may to the swim bladder may be sustained. A sure sign of swim bladder damage include :-

* Inability to maintain a leveled buoyancy * Tilting left, right, up or down inexplicably

Once a multicolor angel settles into your marine aquarium and starts staking out its territory it will become a bully. The multicolor angel along with the Brazilian flameback angel are two of the most aggressive marine angels i have ever kept.

Expect some hostility towards smaller tank mates. Nothing extreme, just a quick reminder of who’s boss around the tank. You must give the rest of your fishes enough space.

Putting two multicolor angelfish together is not recommended. If you must have a pair, either buy a mated or buy a large one along with a small one and introduce them to the aquarium at the same time. Never attempt this in small tanks, larger tanks (75 gallon and above) are required this.

Multicolors are medium sized dwarf angelfish (Like the Coral Beauty Angel, flame angels). They are usually sold at sizes ranging from 2.5 to 4 inches. They should be housed in a saltwater aquarium no less than 50 gallons, a 75 gallon or larger tank is ideal.

There is not a lot of light at the depth its collected at so provide plenty of live rock for it to seek refuge. It must be given time to acclimate to captive lighting intensities. Once acclimated however, they are fearless.

In the wild, dwarf angelfish are all grazers. Like surgeonfish, they scan the rock throughout the day for food. They consume algae, tiny crustaceans and sometimes even detritus.

A balanced diet should be given in a saltwater aquarium. A wide range of foods should be given, variety is important. Feeding them a specific food for too long can be detrimental to their health. Although i’ve heard of hobbyists feeding them new life spectrum pellets for prolonged periods of time with no ill effects. They were all very healthy in fact.

A good pellet like those by New life Spectrum should be offered along with algae/nori sheets plus a balanced frozen food (Formula One, Formula Two).

The Pygmy Angel Formula by Ocean Nutrition is just about the perfect food for dwarf angels. It closely resembles their natural diet in the wild with a whole slew of ingredients that include krill, algae, kelp, shrimp, squid, vitamins and trace minerals plus many others. The ingredients mentioned are all added prior to freezing. Unfortunately Pygmy Angel Formula does not come in flake form.

The Coral Beauty (Centropyge Bispinosus) is a commonly available marine angelfish that sits firmly within the lower price range bracket unlike many of its cousins. They can be had for as little as $15 on the market. It is very popular angel (not as popular as the Flame Angel though), the combination of flame like coloration on a deep blue body plus the price is bound to make this angel a popular fish among hobbyists.

Common names include the Two-Spined Angelfish and the Dusky Angelfish. Distributed throughout the Indo-pacific, this is a heavily collected dwarf angel.

Some of them have been known to have been caught with the use of cyanide, particularly those from the Philippines. Coral beauty angelfish from the Philippines tend to have high mortality rates, no surprises there. Goosed colors (Brighter than usual colors) are common in cyanide collected fishes. They may do fine for a month and then suddenly perish inexplicably.

The coral beauty angel can reach up to 4 inches in the wild so in the interest of allowing it room to breathe i’d suggest at least a 50 gallon. The recommended size for them is 75 gallons or larger.

They are not as aggressive as its other cousins and generally ignores species from outside its genus. Avoid putting two coral beauty angelfish a small tank as they are aggressive towards members of the same genus. If you want two coral beauty angels then ensure you have a large tank or if you’re lucky you can actually buy one. Not likely though. Fights between marine angelfish are pretty rough so expect torn fins.

Angelfish from the genus centropyge are all grazers in the wild. Like surgeonfish, they scan the rock throughout the day for food. They feed on detritus, tiny crustaceans and a wide variety of algae.

A balanced diet should be given in a saltwater aquarium. They should be fed a wide range of foods for variety. They should never be fed a single type of food for too long. Although i’ve heard of hobbyists feeding them new life spectrum pellets for prolonged periods of time with no ill effects. They all looked very healthy in fact.

They should be fed a frozen food that has both meat and algae (Formula One, Formula Two), algae and nori sheets as well as a pellet from a reputable brand like New Life Spectrum.

The Pygmy Angel Formula by Ocean Nutrition is just about the perfect food for dwarf angels. It closely resembles their natural diet in the wild with a whole slew of ingredients that include krill, algae, kelp, shrimp, squid, vitamins and trace minerals plus many others. The cubes are frozen after these ingredients have been mixed into it. Unfortunately Pygmy Angel Formula is only available in frozen form.

The royal gramma (Gramma Loreto) along with 4 others, the flame angel (Centropyge oriculus), yellow tang (Zebrasome Flavescens), blue tang (Paracanthurus Hepatus) and the percula clownfish (both ocellaris and percula) are the most recognizable fishes in the hobby. It is commonly called the fairy basslet as well.

The royal gramma is a beauty. It is blueish-purple from the front as it fades into a bright orange/yellow towards the back half. It has a thin dark stripe that runs from its snout through its eyes.Also present is a black spot on its dorsal fin.

Royal gramma’s are found around the Caribbean Sea where they are quite common. They go for as little as $15 USD, are disease resistant and hardy. A winning combination. Always available, cheap, beautiful and easily kept in a home aquarium. They are commonly mistaken for the bicolor dottyback (Pseudochromis Bicolor) as they both have very similar colors. Telling them apart is easy. The bicolor dottyback does not have a black streak running from its snout through its eyes.

The royal gramma is a good candidate for a wide variety of aquariums. They are a relatively peaceful fish, provided they have a small territory of their own. I have personally kept the royal gramma with clownfish, dwarf angels, large angels, gobies, damsels and dottybacks and have found that it does well with all of them. Again, only if they have their own territory. There can be trouble if any fish continually attempts to enter its shelter.

Royal grammas can reach lengths of nearly 4 inches in the wild. In captivity however, they usually reach a maximum of 3 inches. Royal grammas have been successfully kept in aquariums as small as 10 gallons. Minimum tank size should be at least 20 gallons since they will eventually attain a length of 3 inches.

Royal grammas are carnivores that eat copepods and plankton in the wild. Your corals are safe with them as they are reef safe. Offer them a variety of meaty foods. Frozen foods such as Krill, Mysis shrimp and Prime Reef (A good blend of raw seafood) are all great choices. They normally begin eating very quickly after introduction.

Efforts to breed the royal gramma have been successful. They are a nest building fish, utilizing macroalgae as for their spawning site (usually a cave). The male tries to lure the female into its newly built spawning site by quivering and flaring its fins. Assuming the female is receptive, they will begin mating in the males cave. Their larvae accept rotifers and eventually baby brine shrimp without hesitation.

Holacanthus Ciliaris, the queen angelfish, is among the three most recognizable angelfish in the marine aquarium hobby. The other two being the French Angelfish (Pomacanthus Paru) and the emperor angelfish (Pomacanthus Imperator). It reigns as the most popular species within its genus, much like the flame angelfish (Centropyge Loriculus). They are part of the Pomacanthidae (Marine Angelfish) family and are one of the largest angelfish among its cousins.

The queen angelfish can be found throughout the Caribbean Sea, Brazil all the way up to Florida and the Gulf of Mexico. It is very closely related to Holacanthus Bermudensis (Blue Angelfish) and they look completely alike to the untrained eye. These two angelfish have been known to interbreed in the wild. Their offspring have been called Holacanthus Townsendi. It should be noted that Holacanthus Townsendi is not a valid species within the genus Holacanthus. Thankfully, telling the two apart is an easy enough task, queen angels have a blue crown on their heads, that crown is missing on blue angels.

Like all large angelfish, the juvenile form of the queen angelfish is colored very differently from adults. Juveniles possess bright blue vertical bars from its face to its main body. These bars will slowly disappear as they grow. Adults are a beautiful iridescent blue and yellow throughout their bodies.

Juvenile angelfish also take on a peculiar role in the wild. Like the cleaner wrasse, they act as “cleaners”. As cleaners, they service larger fishes that need some form of parasite removal.

Queen angelfish are pricey no doubt, small ones cost between $80 to $90 while adults can fetch $200 and beyond for show quality specimens.

Almost all larger angelfish have the potential to become massive bullies in a marine aquarium and the Queen angelfish is no exception. It is hostile towards other large angelfish but it generally ignores other species of fish. It often exhibits extreme hostility towards other queen angelfish. Or towards the blue angelfish for that matter. Keep only one queen angelfish per aquarium.

Queen angels are huge, they can reach up to 18 inches in the wild. One and a half feet!. However, they rarely achieve such lengths with a maximum size of 12 to 13 inches in captivity.

An aquarium no smaller than 150 gallons should be used to house a queen angelfish. As with all larger marine fish, a bigger tank is a better tank. They require large amounts of space to swim so ensure that your rock scape allows for this. Resist the the temptation to get those cute 2 inch juveniles for your 50 gallon aquarium. They will quickly outgrow such small tanks in no time at all, leaving you with the headache of either selling or finding larger quarters for it.

The queen angelfish is not reef safe, it can eat corals or at least nip on them until they eventually perish. Although some hobbyists have kept them in reef aquariums with minimal damage to their corals, queen angelfish are better suited to large, fish-only aquariums.

In the wild, their diets are made up of plankton, algae, corals, tunicates and marine sponges. Housing them in a reef aquarium where they are surrounded by corals is not a good idea. Your corals may end up as expensive meals for them. Offer them a good variety of foods from sheets of nori/seaweed to meaty foods like krill or mysis shrimp. A pretty good to offer is Formula Two, containing a blend of seafood and an extra amount of algae. It is available in three forms, flake, pellet or frozen cube.

Ocean Nutrition produces By far the best foods for any large angel, Angel Formula. Specifically designed for large angelfish, they contain a good mix of fresh seafood, algae, vitamins and most importantly, marine sponges. Angel Formula is only available in frozen cube form.

Should you opt to buy some seaweed from your local mart, always remember to buy the plain unflavoured/unspiced version. Raw nori is a good choice if available. Get a clip for your nori and stick it on the side of the aquarium glass.

After the Ocellaris Clown fish (amphiprion ocellaris) and the Percula Clownfish (amphiprion percula), the Maroon Clownfish (Premnas Biaculeatus) sees heavy trading in the industry. They are hail from South East Asia (Malaysia) and can be found in Australia as well. They are considered by many to be the most beautiful member of the clownfish family.

They look like an ocellaris or a percula, except for the fact that their bodies are all a maroon-red. However, their white stripes are thinner than Percula’s. There is a variant that has yellow stripes instead of white.

They are also known as the spine-cheek anemonefish, due to a spine that is found on their cheeks. They are called anemonefish because they share a symbiosis with anemones. They have figured out how to escape the anemones powerful sting, they create a mucus that hides their presence from the anemone. Anemones are not required despite clownfishes needing one in the wild.

Despite heavy collection, their prices are usually higher than that of ocellaris or percula clownfish. Expect to pay up to $40 for larger specimens while juveniles retail for between $20 to $25. Tank raised specimens cost a few dollars more than their wild caught counterparts. Never go with wild caught specimens as tank-bred ones are generally hardier and better suited to the aquarium.

Maroon clownfish are the most aggressive species within the clownfish family. It will not tolerate the presence of other members of the Pomacanthidae family, which are damselfish and clownfish. It will aggressively defend its territory, even from us humans sometimes.

And it doesn’t end with their aggression, they are the largest species within the clownfish family. Known to reach lengths of up to 6 inches.

Feeding them prepared foods is an east task because they will eat just about anything. While they are omnivores in the wild, they consume both meaty and algae based food in the aquarium. They should be fed a wide variety of foods. Prime reef, Formula One and Formula two are some good dry foods to offer. Formula two is a seafood mix with an added amount of algae thrown into it while Prime reef is mostly made up of seafood.

The best pellet food on the market are those made by New Life Spectrum. Feed them some frozen mysis shrimp and krill occasionally.

The most endearing member of the genus Centropyge (Dwarf angelfish family). Centropyge argi is merely a dwarf version of regular dwarf angelfish. They are normally sold at sizes ranging from 1 to 3 inches. A 3 inch centropyge argi is a fully grown adult and will not get any larger.

They are also known as Cherub Angelfish, pygmy angelfish and the Atlantic pygmy angelfish. They possess a yellow face and a deep royal blue throughout their bodies with electric blue linings on their dorsal and anal fins.

They hail from the Caribbean ocean, from South America, Florida and the Gulf of Mexico. They’re pretty cheap fish as far as angelfish go, priced at $20 to $30 USD, these little angels are a very affordable dwarf angelfish for marine aquariums big or small. They are also a common offering on the market, and their price reflects this.

Centropyge argi are grazers in their natural habitat. Throughout the day they scan the rock for food, much like surgeonfish. They feed on small crustaceans, algae of various types and sometimes even detritus.

They should be given a balanced diet in a saltwater aquarium. Variety is important, feed them foods from a wide range of food groups. Feeding them a single type of food for too long is generally a bad idea. Although there have been people that have fed them new life spectrum pellets for months at a time with no ill effects. They all looked very healthy in fact. A good pellet like those by New Life Spectrum should be offered along with algae/nori sheets plus a balanced frozen food (Formula One, Formula Two).

Ocean Nutrition produces the perfect food for dwarf angels, Pygmy Angel Formula.

The emperor angelfish (Pomacanthus Imperator) is one of the three most popular “large” angelfish in the marine aquarium hobby. The french angelfish and the queen angelfish make up the remaining two. Within the genus Pomacanthus, it is the most popular. Imperator Angelfish is another name it goes by.

Among the most distinctively colored angels, it has bright yellow horizontal lines on its blue body, while a black band lined with neon blue covers its face. Its tail is either yellow or orange. Juvenile Emperor angelfish are no less stunning. Its entire body is filled with white concentric circles on a deep blue body.

The Emperor angelfish is commonly found throughout the Indo-Pacific ocean, Red Sea and even the Great Barrier Reefs in Australia. As juveniles, Emperor angelfish provide cleaning services to other fish in the wild. They consume any parasites that maybe present on the bodies of other fishes. A pricey fish, juveniles are priced from $60 to $80 USD while very large “show quality” adults can fetch up to $400 USD.

Pomacanthus is home to some very big bullies. The emperor angelfish is aggressive towards other large angels and is very hostile towards other emperors. It generally leaves fishes from outside the Pomacanthidae family alone. It might bully large tangs and butterfly fish but generally ignores them.

The emperor angelfish attains lengths of up to 16 inches in the wild. This means you can expect lengths of up to 10 to 11 inches in the tank as Emperor angelfish do not normally achieve their full length in captivity. At that length it is still a big fish that needs larger aquariums to really do well. A 150 gallon is the bare minimum while a 200 gallon or larger aquarium is recommended as they need large amounts of space to swim in.

The Emperor Angelfish is not considered reef safe. Though you may see some Emperor Angelfish housed in reef aquariums, they’re better suited to fish-only aquariums.Their diet in the wild consists of tunicates, sponges, algae and corals. Offer them a good variety of foods from meaty foods like mysis shrimp and krill to sheets of nori/seaweed. New Life Spectrum offers a very balanced pellet food. A balanced food that is pretty good for your Emperor Angelfish is Formula Two. It contains a mix of seafood and an extra portion of algae for herbivorous fish. It is available in three forms, pellet, flake or frozen cube.

The most complete food available for your Emperor Angelfish is Angel Formula by Ocean Nutrition. This food was developed with large angelfish in mind, they contain fresh seafood, vitamins, marine sponges and fresh algae. Angel formula is only offered in frozen cube form.

With regards to nori sheets/seaweed sheets for your Emperor Angelfish, you could choose either seaweed sheets from companies catering to angelfish or you can always run down to your local supermarket and get some there. Price varies from cheap to expensive depending on brand.

Make sure you buy unflavoured/unspiced nori when shopping at the supermarket. Just get regular, plain nori. Raw if you can find some. Attach the nori sheet to a nori clip of your choice and stick onto the side of your aquarium.

Another popular clown fish in the Pomacanthidae family besides Percula Clownfish (amphiprion percula) and Ocellaris Clownfish(amphiprion ocellaris), Maroon Clown] (Premnas Biaculeatus) is heavily collected from the wild for the trade. They are hail from South East Asia (Malaysia) and can be found in Australia as well. Maroon clownfish are considered by many to be the most beautiful member of the clownfish family.

Their entire bodies are a dark maroon like red, while they also have 3 white bands like their cousins the percula clownfish. Their white bars are thinner than those on ocellaric clownfish however. There is a variant that has yellow stripes instead of white.

Their most common name besides the maroon clownfish is the spine cheek anemonefish, so called because of a small spine found on their cheeks. They are called anemonefish because they share a symbiosis with anemones. The anemone cannot sting clownfish, it is speculated that clownfish produce a mucus that renders them invisible to the anemone. While Maroon clownfish are always found hosting anemones in the wild, anemones are not required for survival in captivity.

They are generally more expensive than percula or ocellaris clownfish. Expect to pay up to $40 for larger specimens while juveniles retail for between $20 to $25. Tank-Bred maroon clownfish usually fetch a few dollars more. Always choose tank-raised percula as they’re generally hardier than wild caught specimens.

These are some of the most aggressive clownfish in the hobby. It will not tolerate the presence of other members of the Pomacanthidae family, which are damselfish and clownfish. Also a very territorial species, they’ve been known to show aggression even towards their human keepers.

Maroon clownfish are also the biggest species among all clownfish. They can reach a length of 6 inches in captivity.

Captive maroon clownfishes are very easy to feed because they will eat just about anything. While they are omnivores in the wild, both meaty and algae based foods are eaten in an aquarium. Offer them a wide variety of foods. Some good dry foods to feed are Formula One, Formula Two and Prime Reef. Formula two is mostly catered to herbivores, they have an added amount of algae mixed in while prime reef targets mostly carnivores.

New Life Spectrum produces in my opinion the best pellet food on the market. Add in some frozen food like krill or mysis shrimp and you’re set.

The Multicolor angelfish (Centropyge Multicolor) is a deep water angel that live at depths from 50 to 200+ feet in the wild. So named because of the myriad of colors this fish has. Its body is white while its chest has a patch mixed with yellow, orange and red. Its dorsal and anal fins are a dark blue while its tail is yellow. The multicolor angel’s most striking feature is its crown, a small patch of neon blue and purple lines that is also found on very rare Centropyge Nahackyi.

Like the flame angelfish (Centropyge Loriculus), it is collected from the Marshall Islands, Cook Islands and Fiji, not Hawaii as is commonly thought.

Due to the fact that they hail from deeper depths, they are priced on the high side. They retail for about $120. Some deep water dwarf angelfish tend to fare poorly in captivity, not so for the multicolor angelfish. It is a very hardy fish once fully acclimated.

Look out for swim bladder problems as they may have been damaged during collection. If they are brought up too fast their swim bladder will start to expand, collectors solve the problem by poking it with a needle. Severe damage to the swim bladder will occur if this procedure is done incorrectly. Signs of a damaged swim bladder include :-

* Inability to maintain a leveled buoyancy * Tilting left, right, up or down inexplicably

Once a multicolor angel settles into your marine aquarium and starts staking out its territory it will become a bully. The multicolor angel along with the Brazilian flameback angel are two of the most aggressive marine angels i have ever kept.

Expect some hostility towards smaller tank mates. Nothing too hostile, just quick, short chases to show them who’s boss. If you want one of these fishes make sure you have ample room for all your fishes.

I do not recommend putting two multicolor angels together. If you must have a pair, either buy a mated or buy a large one along with a small one and introduce them to the aquarium at the same time. Do not attempt this in aquariums smaller than 75 gallons.

The multicolor angelfish is considered a medium sized dwarf angelfish (Like the Coral Beauty Angelfish, Flame Angels). They normally come in at sizes ranging from 2.5 to 4 inches. They should be housed in a saltwater aquarium no less than 50 gallons, a 75 gallon or larger tank is ideal.

There is not a lot of light at the depth its collected at so provide plenty of live rock for it to seek refuge. It must be given time to acclimate to captive lighting intensities. Once acclimated however, they are fearless.

In the wild, dwarf angelfish are all grazers. Throughout the day they scan the rock for food, much like surgeonfish. They feed on small crustaceans, algae of various types and sometimes even detritus.

They should be given a balanced diet in a saltwater aquarium. Foods from many food groups should be given for variety. Feeding them a specific food for too long can be detrimental to their health. Although there have been hobbyists that have fed them new life spectrum for long periods of time with no ill effects. They all looked very healthy in fact.

A good pellet like those by New life Spectrum should be offered along with algae/nori sheets plus a balanced frozen food (Formula One, Formula Two).

The perfect food for dwarf angels is the Pygmy Angel Formula by Ocean Nutrition. In an effort to provide a balanced and nutritious diet, a wide variety of ingredients are used such as kelp, shrimp, vitamins and trace minerals, krill, squid, algae and many others. The cubes are frozen after these ingredients have been mixed into it. Unfortunately Pygmy Angel Formula is only available in frozen form.
