Fish

Angel fish are considered to be the most popular fish for marine aquarium. Earlier they were regarded as the sub-family of butterfly fish since basically they are similar animals. Today one knows a lot of differences between angel-and butterfly fish – yet we present them in single category on our online shop. Out of more than 85 species of the angel fish, the dwarf angel fish centropyge and paracentropyge, the actually big angel fish and the regal angel fish are those which are especially kept very often in the aquarium.

In aquarium it must be considered that the tanks are sufficiently large enough. In case of dwarf angel fish we recommend an aquarium size of at least 350l-500l. The tanks should be very well structured. Butterfly fish reach a size between 12cm-20cm and thus have similar requirements for aquarium size. However they are very good swimmers, so the tank size with Chelmon rostratus in any case should not be less than 500l. Especially popular are Chaetodons and Chelmon rostratus Orangenbinden blackfin coralfish which we offer on our shop healthy and stable.
