The Keyhole Angelfish is one of the largest of the "dwarf", and become a bit aggressive toward new tankmates once it has been established. Do not keep with other dwarfs except in large systems. The best tank set up for this one would be plenty of established live rock for hiding and grazing. |

The Keyhole Angelfish (Centropyge tibicen) is sometimes called a Tibicen Angelfish or a Melas Angelfish. It belongs to the family named Pomacanthidae. Typically reaching a max size of about 7.6 inches in length, the Keyhole Angelfish is semi-aggressive 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 unlikely and there are no external signs of sexual differences. Centropyge tibicen 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 and a well established aquarium.
