A very sought after but hard to catch dwarf angelfish, which leads to a hit-or-miss specimen once it reaches your local fish store. Many are harmed by people using poison to capture them in the wild. However, if you are able to get a hardy specimen it can be a long lived, peaceful addition to your tank. |

The Golden Angelfish (Centropyge aurantius) belongs to the family named Pomacanthidae. Typically reaching a max size of about 3.9 inches in length, the Golden Angelfish is passive 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 aurantius 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.
