Multicolour Angelfish
Snapshot: Also known as the Pastel Pygmy. This gorgeous beauty flaunts a peachy-orange to yellow colouring, with black speckles over a blue patch behind its eyes. Its tail is a pop of yellow.
Other tidbits: Can grow up to 9cm or so. Distributed throughout the Central and Western Pacific Ocean.
Bare bones must know: Live-rock fish-only system, or reef aquarium with care. Sensitive to copper based medication.
Aquarium set-up: Set up your tank full of secret nooks and crannies, with plenty of live rock for this little grazer to snack on microalgae all day. Keep the lighting chill, because in the wild, this stunner cruises through deep, shadowy waters. Steer clear of copper-based meds, this fish doesn’t vibe with them at all! Maintain an aquatic utopia by nailing the basics: rock-solid water quality with top-notch filtration and routine partial water changes.
Feeding: Angelfish are omnivorous champs. Keep 'em happy with a smorgasbord of high-quality marine flakes, nutrient-rich algae like nori, live treats, and frozen crustaceans like brine or mysis shrimp, and top-notch frozen blends.
AQT note: All our fish feast on a diet of seaweed, marine pellets, flakes and frozen treats under our care. Keep the feast going in your tank!
