Centropyge loricula - Flame angel
CENTROPYGE LORICULA - FLAME ANGEL
The Flame Angelfish (Centropyge loricula) has its name thanks to the bright red-orange color with blue contrasts. Because he is also relatively easy in care the Flame Angel is very popular by marine aquarists from all over the world.
Centropyge loricula will be about 10-12 cm tall when mature. They mainly stay between reefs and less in open water but when it gets dark they can also be found there.
In general these animals are fairly uncomplicated if you follow some advice: Flame Angels should be kept as pairs at least, that’s why we directly offer a set of two fish. Of course it’s ensured that the animals get along with each other (provided that good living conditions are given in the marine water tank). The aquarium itself should have a minimum size of 400 liters and a water temperature between 21 and 27°C. If the fish are kept in groups the tank must be correspondingly larger. When adding a new fish it should be considered that the new animal iss maller than the exisiting Centropyge. In any case the aquarium should be well structured and offer enough hiding places for keeping Flame Angel.
In the diet of the fish a high proportion of plants should be provided, for example by algae. Suitable are pellets, flakes and frozen foods.
As with other Angelfish it may happen that the Flame Angelfish will nibble on corals, however this phenomenon can be prevented by keeping the fish as pairs or in groups.
