Flame Angelfish

The Flame Angelfish (Centropyge loriculus), is a semi-aggressive species that is reef-safe with caution, admired for its vibrant orange-red coloration, striking vertical black bars, and compact size. Males typically display more intense coloration and elongated dorsal fins, while females and juveniles tend to have slightly subdued colors and shorter fins. They reach about 4 inches in length and should be housed in aquariums of at least 30 gallons. Their environment should include a sandbed, plenty of live rock, hiding spots, and open swimming areas, along with stable water parameters (salinity ~1.020–1.025, temperature ~72–79°F, pH ~8.1–8.4) and a secure lid, as Flame Angelfish are known to jump. Their diet should consist of mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, copepods, high-quality pellets, and algae. With proper care, this vibrant fish becomes a striking centerpiece in any reef or marine aquarium.

We feed Selcon-soaked food with Kanaplex and Metroplex during quarantine. Unless marked, all livestock comes with our 15-Day Guarantee. You will receive a video of your fish eating before shipment. On request, we also send photos/videos after arrival at IA. Some species are import-to-order (3-10 business days). Many common species are already cleared or near the end of QT.

Several species will be import-to-order and may take anywhere from 3-10 business days to secure. Once your fish is secured, you will be notified, and the quarantine process will then begin.
