One of the more sought after of the dwarf angelfish, the Bicolor can be a bit tricky to acclimate to the home aquarium. The best tank set up for this one would be plenty of established live rock for hiding and grazing. The Bicolor is striking in color, but shy in attitude. So, keep with less boistrous tankmates, at least until it feels secure in its new home. Not recommended for the reef tank . |

The Bicolor Angelfish (Centropyge bicolor) is sometimes called a Two-colored Angelfish or an Oriole Angelfish. It belongs to the family named Pomacanthidae. Typically reaching a max size of about 6.0 inches in length, the Bicolor Angelfish is semi-aggressive in nature and moderately hardy in stamina. It's more active during the daytime and less at night, and will hang out across the entire tank. According to FishDB current data, captive breeding success is unreported and there are no external signs of sexual differences. Centropyge bicolor should not be housed in a tank less than 55 gallons in size. Tank parameters should be maintained with ph level between 8.1 - 8.3, temperature between 77 - 79 degrees fahrenheit, and a salinity between 1.020 - 1.023. Some of the environmental concerns that you should strive to replicate in your home aquaria to promote succesful acclimation include plenty of hiding places.
