Rusty Angelfish

Rusty Angelfish

Species Description
Vibrantly colored, the Rusty Angelfish stands out as an excellent addition to the home aquarium. One of the less aggressive of the family, the Rusty Angelfish is one addition that is more likely to behave itself in your tank. The Rusty Angelfish is similar in appearance to the Coral Beauty Angelfish but with more orange coloration. It does best in live rock tanks but it can be a nuisance in tanks with coral as it is prone to nip and soft and stony corals as well as clam mantles. It can be housed with other species of dwarf Angelfish as long as they are all added at the same time. Be careful to only combine Angelfish with very distinct color variations however.

Diet
Will readily accept most frozen and prepared foods. It is best to feed frozen mysis shrimp and spirulina algae if the Rusty Angelfish is not kept in a well established aquarium.
