Description
The Bicolor Angelfish, also known as the Two-colored Angelfish, is a striking marine fish recognized for its vibrant coloration. The front half of the body is a brilliant yellow, while the back half is a deep blue, creating a stunning contrast. This angelfish adds a splash of color and activity to any marine aquarium.
Native to the reefs of the Indo-Pacific, the Bicolor Angelfish thrives in well-established tanks with plenty of live rock for grazing and hiding. Although it can be housed in a reef tank, caution is advised as it may nip at soft corals and small invertebrates. Offering a varied diet of marine algae, spirulina, and meaty foods ensures its health and helps maintain its vibrant colors.
Reaching a maximum size of 6 inches, this angelfish is best suited for tanks of at least 70 gallons. Its semi-aggressive nature means it should be housed with other similarly sized fish to prevent territorial disputes. With proper care and a balanced diet, the Bicolor Angelfish can be a stunning and lively addition to a saltwater aquarium.
