Bicolor Angelfish (Centropyge bicolor)
The Bicolor Angelfish is a vibrant, eye-catching addition to any reef aquarium. Its striking two-tone coloration — deep navy blue on the front half and bright golden yellow on the rear half — creates a dramatic contrast that instantly draws attention. A small, compact species, it’s ideal for medium to large reef tanks and adds both color and activity to your marine setup.
Native to the Indo-Pacific, the Bicolor Angelfish is an active and moderately hardy species. It thrives in well-established aquariums with plenty of live rock for grazing and hiding. While generally peaceful, it may show territorial behavior toward other dwarf angelfish, so careful tankmate selection is recommended.
A herbivorous diet of algae, spirulina, and marine-based preparations keeps its coloration vivid and promotes healthy growth. With proper care, the Bicolor Angelfish will become a lively, colorful centerpiece in your marine collection.
