Bluefin Angelfish Indian Ocean Centropyge multispinis

Bluefin Angelfish Indian Ocean Care, Selections, and Useful Information

  The Bluefin Angelfish features black and blue with brown spots. This fish is known for its ability to hide in the rockwork, compatibility with other similar tangs, and swimming in the open aquarium water with ease.

Appearance and Behavior

  This fish is distinct in the way that it has similarities to other angel centropyge species. The lower spot on its torso features a unique stripe of blue that has a good contrast and is noticable in any marine aquatic environment. This angelfish is peaceful in its swimming behavior in the tank in opposition to other fish. The main aspect to be aware of is that this fish is semi-aggressive in nature and can display territorial tendencies with other marine fish. Make sure that they are separated to some degree so that they gel well together once they are acclimated in your tank. Other reef safe fish are recommended for an optimally healthy aquatic environment.
