Pico and nano tanks are usually too small for most dwarf angelfish and aquariums with a capacity of forty to fifty gallon will be ideal for them.

Smaller members in centropyge genus consists of cherub pygmy, fishers angel, white tailed dwarf, African flame back and Brazilian flame black. All these angelfish species are very small and they are perfectly suited to small aquarium tanks.

Flame angelfish features red colour, orange colour, black tiger stripes and they are graceful fish originated from Amazon River. As angelfish is so popular, it can be assured that each and every aquarium store will have large collection. Angelfish can withstand wide range of water conditions and the preferred temperature is around 27 Degree Celsius. Breeding pair of angelfish should be kept in a twenty gallon tank and water should have a pH level of 7.0. Angelfish can be fed with bloodworms, white worms, tubifex worms, brine shrimp and tropical flakes.
