Description
The Fireball Angel (Centropyge loricula), also known as the Brazilian Flame Angel, is a stunning marine fish celebrated for its vibrant coloration and lively personality. Characterized by its bright orange body accented with vivid blue markings, this angel fish adds a striking visual element to any aquarium.
Native to the reefs of Brazil, the Fireball Angel prefers environments rich in coral and rock structures where it can find shelter and grazing opportunities. This species is semi-aggressive and can be territorial, especially towards other dwarf angelfish or similarly sized fish, making it best suited for larger community tanks.
In terms of diet, the Fireball Angel is an omnivore that requires a varied diet for optimal health. It thrives on high-quality flake foods, algae, and frozen or live foods such as brine shrimp and mysis shrimp. Regular feeding is essential to maintain its vibrant colors and overall well-being.
While the Fireball Angel is considered reef compatible, caution should be exercised as it may nip at soft corals or small invertebrates if stressed or underfed. A minimum tank size of 70 gallons is recommended to provide ample swimming space and hiding spots.
