How we check: each species' minimum tank size against your display volume, plus quantities and behaviour pairings between tankmates.
Angelfish
Bicolor Angelfish
Centropyge bicolor
A dramatic dwarf angel — vivid yellow front half, deep-blue rear, yellow tail — and the largest and boldest Centropyge in this batch. It is a confident, semi-aggressive grazer that must be the only dwarf angel in the tank, and it has an above-average appetite for LPS polyps and clam mantles, so it suits fish-only or algae-heavy systems better than a prized coral reef. It is also known as a stress-sensitive shipper, so buy an established, feeding specimen.
