notes
   The Orangelined Angelfish is one of the largest of the "dwarf". Typically, it will leave other tankmates alone, but beware of introducing other similar fish after it has become established. The best tank set up for this one would be plenty of established live rock for hiding and grazing.   
overview
  
The Eibli Angelfish (Centropyge eilbi) is sometimes called an Eibl's Pygmy Angelfish, a Red Stripe Angelfish, a Blacktail Angelfish, or an Orangelined Angelfish. It belongs to the family named Pomacanthidae. Typically reaching a max size of about 5.7 inches in length, the Eibli Angelfish is generally passive in nature and 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 eilbi should not be housed in a tank less than 30 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 and a well established aquarium.
