The Bicolor Angelfish is a striking dwarf angelfish known for its bold contrast of deep blue on the rear half of the body and vibrant yellow on the front. Specimens from Fiji are especially sought after for their strong coloration and overall condition, making them an attractive choice for display aquariums.
Active and alert, the Bicolor Angelfish adds constant movement and personality to a reef or fish-only system. Like many dwarf angelfish, it may exhibit curiosity toward corals, making it best described as reef-safe with caution. When provided with proper space, rockwork for grazing, and a varied diet, this species can be hardy and rewarding.
This angelfish is best suited for aquarists with established systems who want a colorful, energetic fish with classic reef appeal.
