Redstipe Angelfish

(Centropyge eibli)

Centropyge Angelfish should be added to well established aquariums with plenty of room to swim. Plenty of rock work, caves, cracks and crevices should be provided for grazing and hiding. Centropyge Angelfish may pick at mobile and sessile invertebrates. A diet of marine meaty, angelfish and algae based foods should be provided multiple times daily. Care will need to be taken when handling Angelfish as they have cheeks pines, avoid using nets when handling. Centropyge Angelfish are hermaphroditic meaning they may have both sex organs at some point in their lives. May be territorial towards other Angelfish with the same shape, however if added to a large enough aquarium and at the same time Dwarf Angelfish may live harmoniously.

The Redstripe Angelfish is also known as the Eibl’s Angelfish or Orangeline Angelfish. This commonly seen and ornate Dwarf Angelfish has an opalescent body with several vertical orange to red stripes. It's caudal fin and the very back of the body are black with a brilliant sapphire-blue stripe outlining its caudal fin. The Redstripe Angelfish is considered one of the larger of the Dwarf Angels and can grow to 6".

We recommend a minimum aquarium size of 70 gallons or larger for this species.
