Ask a question about this product

The flame angelfish is one of the most beautiful in the genus, as well as one of the hardiest. It's also one of the top 5 most popular aquarium fish among thousands available. It is orange overall, with dark bands on the body and blue markings on the rear edges of the dorsal and anal fins. This fish can become aggressive toward members of its own genus, as well as fishes with similar shape or behavior introduced after it has become an established. Make sure it is placed in a tank with plenty of hiding places. Commonly kept in reef tanks, it may nip at corals, clams, etc., �Like all pygmy angels, it does best in reef tanks or tanks containing live rock and/or plenty of algae.

One of the most colorful and attractive of the commonly available marine angelfishes is the Dwarf Flame Angel fish. It has a striking red or orange body with vertical black bars in the mid section. The good news is that the Flame Angel fish only gets to be about 4 inches (10 cm) or so and can be the prize specimen in any tank. The bad news is that they can be fairly expensive,� and may bully other dwarf angelfishes or smaller tank mates.

Flame Angel fish need a tank with moderate to high water circulation, better than average water quality (very low nitrates) and plenty of live rock. They will graze on the live rock in between meals and use any hiding places provided by the live rock when they feel threatened.

When it comes to eating, they are not as picky as some other saltwater fish. They seem to really like the frozen marine foods, live and flake foods. Definitely plan on using some dried algae supplements if not enough is present on the live rock in your tank to avoid any nutritional disorders.
