Centropyge interruptus, commonly known as the Rock Beauty Angelfish, is a visually stunning dwarf angelfish prized for its vibrant yellow and black coloration. This listing offers a pair of Tank-Bred specimens available in various sizes, making them suitable for a range of aquarium setups.
Care Level: Moderate. These angelfish require stable water parameters and a well-established tank with plenty of live rock for grazing and shelter.
Temperament: Semi-aggressive. While generally peaceful with other species, Centropyge interruptus can be territorial, especially towards conspecifics or similar dwarf angelfish. Keeping a bonded pair is recommended to reduce aggression.
Diet: Omnivorous. Provide a varied diet including high-quality marine angelfish pellets, frozen mysis shrimp, spirulina, and algae-based foods to ensure optimal health and vibrant colouration.
Minimum Tank Size: 114 litres (30 gallons). A larger tank is preferred to provide ample swimming space and territories.
Reef Compatibility: With Caution. While generally considered reef safe, Centropyge interruptus may nip at sessile invertebrates such as tube worms, clam mantles, and some corals. Monitor behaviour closely in reef systems.
Lighting Requirements: Standard marine aquarium lighting is sufficient. No special lighting needs beyond what is required for tank inhabitants.
Water Flow: Moderate. Provide moderate water movement to mimic natural reef conditions without stressing the fish.
Placement: Introduce into a mature aquarium with plenty of live rock for grazing and hiding spots. Avoid overcrowding to reduce territorial disputes.
Origin: Tank-Bred specimens sourced from reputable UK aquaculture facilities.
Maximum Size: Approximately 12 cm (4.7 inches) in length.
