Saltwater Aquarium Angel Fish

Saltwater Aquarium Angelfish

Saltwater angelfish are among the most beautiful of all reef creatures. Their colors are deep and rich and often cleverly painted by Neptune into stripes and spots. These fish are found in all the world's oceans, although the greatest diversity of this group is found in the Indo-Pacific Ocean in rocky areas and reefs where they feast on the abundant coral. And although these species can be rather territorial, they are among the most popular aquarium fish. Despite their delicate appearance, once acclimated to your tank angelfish are incredibly hardy and can be a long-time resident of your aquarium.

Dwarf Angelfish

Bicolor Angelfish
Centropyge bicolor
Fiji

Identification:One of the most striking of the dwarf or pygmy angelfish, the Bicolor Angelfish, also known as the Two-colored or Oriole Angel, is a terrific fish for either a reef or fish-only tank and has a peaceful disposition. It thrives on all foods.
Recommended Tank size: Provide a 30 gallon or larger tank . It should have large amounts of live rock for hiding and grazing. The Bicolor angelfish can be kept successfully in reef type aquaria, but usually do not survive in fish-only aquariums. This is commonly due to specialized diet requirements that reef aquaria provide, in the way of naturally occurring micro-crustacean populations, but in some cases, may simply be due to the more complete natural ecosystem found in reef tanks.
Food and diet:In a saltwater aquarium they should be given a balanced diet. 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. They should be fed frozen foods that have both meat and algae (Formula One, Formula Two, Ocean Nutrition Pygmy Angel Formula are all good examples, algae and nori sheets as well as a pellet from a reputable brand like Spectrum.
Level of Care: Easy
Acclimaton Time: 3+ hours
Reef Compatibility: Generally safe, but may nip at corals, clams, etc.
Approximate Purchase Size: Small: 1" to 1-3/4"; Medium: 1-3/4" to 2-1/2"; Large: 2-1/2" to 4-1/2"

Golden Dwarf Angelfish
(Centropyge aurantia)

Identification:The Golden Angelfish is a stunning marine angelfish that commands a high price and is fairly difficult to find. This is a difficult angelfish to keep in the marine aquarium and should be left to those that can properly convert it to aquarium life and take care of its needs. If you still feel the golden angelfish is for you then read on. They are uniformly orange to brownish orange with numerous vertical yellow stripes and the face and head are sometimes slightly duskier. The fins are orange to brownish with some curved yellow lines, except the pectoral fins which are translucent. It is a deep water species that is commonly found at depths as deep as 180 feet.
Recommended Tank size: The golden angelfish needs large tanks with plenty of live rock to do well. Plenty of shaded areas and caves are needed to provide shelter. In the wild this fish spends most of its time in dark, shaded areas and is rarely seen out in the open for long periods of time. A 50 gallon established marine aquarium should be the absolute lower limit for this dwarf angelfish. Since there is very little light at the depths it lives at, it must be given time to properly adapt to aquarium lighting conditions.

French Angelfish
Pomacanthus paru

Description: The French angela, Pomacanthus paru, is a large angelfish of the family Pomacanthidae, found in the western Atlantic from Florida and the Bahamas to Brazil, and also the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean, including the Antilles, and the eastern Atlantic . The adult background coloration is black but the scales of the body, except those at the front from nape to abdomen, are rimmed with golden yellow. Furthermore the pectoral fins have a broad orange-yellow bar, the dorsal filament is yellow, the chin is whitish, the outer part of the iris is yellow, and the eye is narrowly rimmed below with blue. Juveniles are black with vertical yellow bands.
Recommended tank size:Ideally, it should be provided with an established 125+ gallon aquarium setup with a live sand substrate (they enjoy snacking on benthic invertebrates) and plenty of live rock for grazing, shelter, and territory. They should also have plenty of open swimming space and strong water movement in addition to high intensity lighting.
Reef Compatibility: Will nip at sessile invertebrates such as nudibranchs, corals, and clams.
Food and diet: In the aquarium they should be sustained by a wide selection of live, fresh, or frozen and vitamin-enriched brine shrimp, mysis shrimp, chopped krill, chopped clams, chopped squid, marine algae, zucchini, spinach, romaine lettuce, and quality Spirulina-based flake foods for angelfish and herbivores.

Description: The queen angelfish (Holacanthus ciliaris) is an angelfish commonly found near reefs in the warmer sections of the western Atlantic Ocean. Queen angelfish get their royal title from the speckled, blue-ringed black spot on their heads that resembles a crown.

Decked out with electric blue bodies, blazing yellow tails, and light purple and orange highlights, Queen angels are among the most strikingly colorful of all reef fishes. Their adornments seem shockingly conspicuous, but they blend well when hiding amid the exotic reef colors.

They are shy fish, found either alone or often in pairs in the warm waters of the Caribbean and western Atlantic. Fairly large for reef-dwellers, they can grow up to 18 inches (45 centimeters) in length. They have rounded heads and small beak-like mouths, and, like other angelfish, their long upper and lower fins stream dramatically behind them.

ReefPods™ Tisbe by AlgaGen

Excellent food for Mandarins, Blennies, Gobies, Seahorses, and many other finicky eating fish

ReefPods™ Tisbe the most popular aquarium Pod -they consumes your aquarium’s wastes and detritus, reproduce well, and are food for a multitude of reef inhabitants!

ReefPods™ Tisbe is a live culture of the harpacticoid copepod Tisbe biminiensis. Tisbe adult copepods live on bottom substrate such as live rock or sand and will eat detritus and microalage in the aquarium. They produce a small nauplii which is an excellent food for aquarium filter feeders and fish larvae. The adults are eaten by small bottom feeding fish such as gobies, dragonettes and blennies.

ReefPods™ Tisbe may be used as a starter culture to add to marine aquarium refugiums or the main tank. Once established they will reproduce quickly, growing from nauplii to adults in about nine days. They will thrive in a wide range of aquarium temperatures and a wide range of salinities. It is suggested they be added to the aquarium at night or to the refugium to avoid immediate fish predation.

Tisbe is an excellent all purpose aquarium copepod owing to its role in the natural environment as a detritivore. An opportunist feeder, Tisbe can be used as a tank cleaner consuming uneaten food and wastes as well as phytoplankton in the tank and refugium. Tisbe is capable of producing many eggs during its adult life span that hatch into nauplii which will enter the water column as food for your filter feeding reef inhabitants and replenish the adult population vital to tank hygiene. Tisbe adults and juveniles may also enter the water column and be tasty and nutritious treats for your reef fish!

Please note: Aquatic Connection will not guarantee the coloration of corals as seen in your reef system.

Reason? Not all corals from our tanks and lighting will look the same when they are in your tanks. Everybody's tanks have different lighting setups, spectrums, combinations, etc. Aquatic Connection's tanks are lit by 400 watt 20K Halide bulbs. We use this combination for best growth. But for best viewing this is not the best lighting choice. Aquatic Connection photographs all polyps under Actinic only lighting. This brings out the true zoanthilia and protopalythoa colors. If your tank consists of all daylight (10K's, 14K's etc.) with minimal actinic lighting, your not going to see the vibrant true colors. We suggest you add true actinic lamps also and turn these on in the evening without the daylight lighting for proper color viewing.
