Fisher's Angelfish

When arranging decor, a series of coral heads is better for dispersing individuals throughout the tank than a long contiguous reef.

Fireball Angelfish

A male and one to several females can be kept together in a medium-size aquarium. They will spawn throughout the year, and a pair can reproduce for six to eight years.

The Coral Beauty Angelfish

The Coral Beauty Angel should be kept in a tank of 30 gallons or larger, so it'll have ample room to roam. They will spend most of their day grazing algae that grows on live rock.

Bluefin Angelfish

One secret to keeping many of these more temperamental pygmy angelfish is to add them to a tank with lush filamentous algae growth. Many of these fish will browse on this plant material, which can help tide them over until they accept other aquarium fare.

Black Nox Angelfish

All pygmy angelfish are protogynous hermaphrodites (all males result from female sex change). Sexual metamorphosis is socially controlled, with the main factor affecting its occurrence being the presence of a dominant male.

Tibicen Angelfish

The Tibicen Angelfish feeds on algae, small crustaceans and worms close to the bottom. It is important that Angelfish are offered both vegetable and protein matter in their diets.

Pygmy angels captive breeding

A number of pygmy angelfish are known to interbreed. In fact, some do so regularly. For example, the lemonpeel and halfblack commonly interbreed and even produce offspring that are capable of reproducing.

The progeny of this cross spawning are regularly sold in the aquarium trade. Hybridization often occurs in areas where two closely related species co-occur and one is common, while the other is rare

Eibli Angelfish

These fish usually do not have to be fed as frequently as other angelfish because the algae and detritus will provide them with a natural food source. In fact, some individuals never take introduced food but sustain themselves on the algae and detritus in the tank.

Yellow and Black Heraldi Angelfish

If you want to try and breed pygmy angels, the aquarium should be at least 75 gallons and should
contain a lot of rockwork and/or artificial coral to provide ample shelter sites.

Pygmy angelfish aggression and compatibility.

If you want to keep more than one pygmy angelfish in the same aquarium, you will have greater success if your aquarium is 70 gallons or more and is packed with hiding places.
