Bicolor Angelfish; Fiji - Centropyge bicolor

General Information on Bicolor Angelfish

The Bicolor Angelfish, a standout among Centropyge pygmy or dwarf angelfish, sports a vivid yellow anterior body and deep blue posterior. A vertical swath of blue extends from the eye over the head, while the tail retains its yellow hue. However, they tend to nibble on soft and stony corals and clam mantles, making them unsuitable for reef environments.      

Bicolor Angelfish Origin

\n\nCentropyge bicolor thrives throughout the Indo-Pacific region, spanning East Africa to the Samoan and Phoenix Islands, southern Japan to New Caledonia, and across Micronesia. It's also found in Fiji, Indonesia, Vanuatu, and certain areas of the Great Barrier Reef in Australia.    

Diet & Nutrition

Bicolor angelfish are benthic omnivores, initially consuming about 30% algae but shifting as they mature to 70% from corals, crustaceans, polychaete worms, sponges, and other invertebrates. Adjust feeding according to their life stage.

• • Reef Tank Diet: Offer a variety of live, frozen, or prepared foods like mysis, spirulina algae, shucked fish, frozen shrimp, and angelfish sponge-based foods.

• • Feeding Frequency: Feed 2-3 times daily, adjusting based on tank size and natural algae availability. Larger tanks with more natural algae may require feeding 1-2 times daily.
