   A spectacularly patterned specimen. Multibarred Angelfish are finicky eaters and a variety of food sources should be introduced to find that special treat that your individual finds enticing.   
overview
  
The Multibarred Angelfish (Centropyge multifasciatus) is sometimes called a Many Banded Angelfish or a Banded Multifasciatus Angel. It belongs to the family named Pomacanthidae. Typically reaching a max size of about 5.0 inches in length, the Multibarred 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 multifasciatus 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.
