Bicolor Angelfish
The Bicolor Angelfish (Centropyge bicolor) features a brilliant yellow front half that transitions sharply to a deep royal blue rear. A distinctive blue mask often covers its face, adding to its bold look. While a hardy and very popular aquarium fish, it is territorial so give the guy some rocks to call his own. This fish has been around the trade for a while, with the first live samples brought to Germany by the great naturalist Marcus Bloch in 1787. He then killed, dissected, and named the species.
Why the Bicolor Angelfish is a Great Choice:
- Vibrant Colors: Its striking yellow and blue contrast creates a spectacular, high-impact focal point.

The Bicolor Angelfish is a stunning addition to my tank. The yellow and blue colors are vivid and really draw attention. I made sure to provide plenty of rocks for it to establish its territory, and it’s been peaceful since then.

Beautiful fish with a very striking appearance. I noticed it’s a bit territorial, so I kept it in a larger tank with plenty of hiding places. It’s active and adds a lot of visual interest.

I’ve had this fish for three months now and it’s still vibrant. The color contrast is impressive, and it seems to enjoy the rock formations I added. Very satisfied with the purchase.
