The Centropyge bicolor, also known as the Bicolor dwarf angelfish, is a striking and colorful addition to the marine aquarium. This fish immediately stands out with its vibrant color separation: a bright yellow anterior that transitions sharply into a deep blue abdomen. These contrasting colors make this species particularly popular with marine aquarium enthusiasts.

• Maximum size : approx. 15 cm
• Temperature : 24-26°C

Behavior and care:

The Bicolor dwarf angelfish is generally an active swimmer that enjoys foraging through rocks and caves. It is a semi-aggressive species, especially towards conspecifics or similar fish. It is recommended to keep only one angelfish per aquarium, unless it is a well-introduced pair in a large tank.

Power supply:

This fish is omnivorous and accepts both dry and frozen foods. A varied diet of algae, spirulina, mysis, and brine shrimp promotes good health and coloration. Note: Some individuals may prey on corals or sessile invertebrates, making it less suitable for a strictly reef aquarium.
