A very flashy and peaceful member of the Dwarf Angelfish community. This one is a rare find usually as it originates only from the waters around Japan. However, efforts are being made to breed these in capativity. So, they may show up more in the near future. |

The Japanese Pygmy Angelfish (Centropyge interruptus) is sometimes called an Interruptus Angelfish. It belongs to the family named Pomacanthidae. Typically reaching a max size of about 5.1 inches in length, the Japanese Pygmy 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 good. External sexual differences are limited to the fact that female head orange w/ blue spots-male head is blue. Centropyge interruptus 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.
