Species Description
One of the many dwarf Angelfish endemic to the Hawaiian Islands, the Fisher's Angelfish is a great addition to well established aquariums utilizing live rock filtration or decoration. It is one of the dwarf-dwarf or pygmy Angelfish, but unlike its cousins, it will not do well in smaller or nano sized tanks. It needs a minimum of 50 gallons in order to provide it a large enough territory to feel safe. Plenty of caves and other hiding places seems to be the key to success with this pretty little fish. It may pick on stony and soft corals but in larger aquariums with many coral, it will usually not cause very much permanent damage. Actually, the most success with the species has come from housing them in reef tanks with high densities of different coral. Like all pygmy Angelfish, they are completely intolerant of their own species or other fish of similar color or shape. Keep one individual per aquarium and add it close to last to avoid aggression. It is harmless toward non-sessile invertebrates such as shrimp or crabs.
