Fish farming is the principal form of aquaculture. Coral Beauty Angelfish (Centropyge bispinosus) A very hearty fish and a good fish for a newer aquarium keeper with basic knowledge of fish, these fish are purple, blue, orange and the belly and fins are yellow with some individuals having only yellow fins and orange bellies. They are omnivorous and feed on both algae and animal based foods so be sure to provide a good mix of the two.
A blue and yellow fish that just fits in to the “dwarf angelfish” category is the bicolor angelfish. These fish require at least a fifty gallon tank due to their adult size of six inches. Some reef tanks with this species in them but not many due to the fact that these may just like your corals more than the food they are supposed to eat, I would suggest leaving this angel in a fish only aquarium because they are more prone to eat all the coral you have spend time and money on.
Flame angelfish are easily the most popular dwarf angelfish because of its beautiful colors of red, blue orange, yellow and black. These fish require at the least thirty gallons but preferably forty to fifty gallons. These fish only reach four inches but are very active and need extra swimming room.
Another angelfish that just barely fits in to the “dwarf angelfish” category is the lemon peel angelfish. This is a vibrant fish being solid yellow with blue around its eyes and gills as an adult and yellow and blue with a spot on its side that can be black or brown as a juvenile.
The pygmy cherub angelfish is a somewhat aggressive fish that is known to fight to the death with its own species if they are kept in the same tank. This is a nice colored fish, being blue and orange it can give your tank some new colors that you may otherwise not have. This fish has a maximum size of three inches so it is good for smaller tanks.
The imperator angelfish is by far the most sought after angelfish (Next to the regal angelfish) due to how beautiful it is when full grown (And as a juvenile). When full grown they have blue and yellow stripes and look like they have a mask over their eyes. When in the juvenile coloration they will be dark blue with baby blue and white stripes and patterns.
Beautiful and delicate due to its feeding habits (Some individuals will not eat). The colors of this fish are blue, yellow, white and black. This is an omnivorous species and needs both animal and plant matter to keep its vivid colors and to thrive.
This fish contradicts the common one angelfish per tank and will not eat corals. These fish in nature are plankton eaters but can become omnivorous in an aquarium, These fish also are natural schooling fish and can be kept in a group.
Also knows as the false moorish idol the heniochus butterfly fish is black, white and yellow in color. This butterfly fish unlike most others can be kept in pairs or in groups. The heniochus butterfly fish grows to be seven to ten inches and requires at least a one hundred gallon aquarium for one (Larger if you plan to keep a group).
Silver, black and white in color and reaches two to three inches in length, These are one of the most if not the most popular cardinalfish in aquariums due to the fact that some are tank bred, they have such beautiful markings and patters, and they are reef safe. These are carnivores and need only animal based food to survive; most animal based frozen foods are suitable.
Mandarins are beautiful when alive and devastating to watch die, death is something that happens far too often for most mandarins due to their feeding habits. Mandarins only eat copapods and all the little sand bugs and worms they can find in the ocean and it is hard to try and change their minds when introducing them to your aquarium, It has happened but is not common enough to try and base your entire decision on buying one on it.
