Centropyge fisheri – Fisher's Angelfish

The Centropyge fisheri, also known as the Fisher's Angelfish, is a particularly attractive and relatively rare dwarf angelfish from the Pacific. With its intense orange-red base color and fine vertical stripes, it is a real eye-catcher in well-established marine aquariums.

This species is suitable for experienced aquarists and is preferably kept in structured reef aquariums with sufficient hiding places. With good acclimatization, the Fisher's Angelfish proves to be active, curious, and constantly present.

Care & Notes
