Considered by many to be the most striking of the Centropyge group of dwarf or pygmy, the Bicolor Angelfish, also known as the bicolor Angelfish or Oriole Angelfish, is a vibrant yellow on the anterior half of the body and a deep blue on the posterior half. A splash of deep blue extends vertically from the eye to the top of the head and the tail is yellow.

Not a good reef dweller, the bicolor angelfish is prone to nipping on LPS corals, Softs, Tridacna mantles and Tubeworms.

These fish should be kept in a well-managed aquarium, where they can “graze” algae from rocks and rocks. If there is insufficient algae on the rocks, it is important to feed more often and supplement with foods rich in algae, for example. Spirulina.

This species needs good hiding places, for example among live rocks. This species can change gender from female to male. When a male is needed, a female changes sex and assumes the role.
