Flameback Angelfish: A Vibrant Gem for Your Reef

Add a splash of fiery colour to your marine aquarium with the stunning Flameback Angelfish. Its captivating hues and engaging personality make it a true centerpiece.

Overview

The Flameback Angelfish (*Centropyge acanthops*) dazzles with a deep blue body beautifully contrasted by a vibrant orange-yellow blaze running from its head to the dorsal fin. Its caudal fin is a striking light yellow, almost transparent, while a bright blue ring encircles its eye. These dwarf angelfish are active, graceful swimmers, often seen darting amongst rockwork and coral, adding dynamic movement and colour to your marine environment.

Care Level

This species is considered of moderate care level, suitable for intermediate aquarists. The Flameback Angelfish is semi-aggressive, particularly towards other dwarf angelfish or similar-sized tank mates, so careful consideration of companions is crucial. Provide ample hiding places to minimise aggression.

Tank Essentials

A minimum of 200 litres is recommended for a single Flameback Angelfish, ensuring plenty of swimming space and rockwork with crevices for shelter. Maintain stable water parameters: pH range of 8.1-8.4, temperature between 22-28°C, and a specific gravity of 1.020-1.025.

Diet

As an omnivore, the Flameback Angelfish thrives on a varied diet. Offer high-quality marine flake and pellet foods, supplemented with spirulina, marine algae (nori), mysis shrimp, and enriched brine shrimp. Feed small portions 2-3 times daily to support their grazing habits and overall health.
