Marine Dwarf Angelfish are magnificent saltwaterfish that are perfect for the home saltwater aquarium. They are among the most colorful and most popular of all marine fish. Most Dwarf angel fish reach a size of three to four inches in an aquarium. Keeping a large marine angelfish require a large commitment in aquarium size, which many cannot do. Saltwater Dwarf Angel fish have a huge advantage. They are just as nice but in a smaller more compact size. They can easily be kept in smaller home aquariums. Dwarf angelfish are long-lived and the dwarf sized angels are a fine addition to many marine tanks. For a smaller dwarf angel the Centropyge argi pygmy angel, a saltwater aquarium of just 30 gallons is sufficient. The Dwarf Angelfish species such as the Bicolor Angel (Centropyge bicolor), Flame Angel (Centropyge loricula), and many other similar species need an aquarium of at least 55 gallons.
If you plan to keep more than one Dwarf Angel make sure your saltwater aquarium is large enough. You see Dwarf angelfish usually do not mix well together unless the aquarium is large enough for each to have their own good size territory. We recommend at least 125 gallons if you intend to keep more than one dwarf angelfish in your saltwater aquarium. You don't really want any chance of fighting. Furtheremore if you are planning on maintaining more than one small angelfish, vary the sizes of the Dwarfs and add the angel fish all at the same time. This helps prevent one angel from developing too large a territory before the other Dwarf Angels choose their territory.
