Bicolor Angelfish 2-3in (Centropyge bicolor)
Product Description
Other Common Names
Two Colored Angelfish, Oriole Angelfish, Blue-and Gold Angelfish, Pacific Rock Beauty Angelfish
Species Description The Bicolor Angelfish is one of the easiest recognized of the Centropyge and was once thought to be the most difficult to keep alive. Because of the advancement of the marine aquarium hobby, the Bicolor Angelfish does better due to the quality of live rock contained in most aquariums which enables it to freely graze until it learns to accept frozen foods. The specimens collected in places like Fiji and The Coral Sea have proven to be of better quality than those being collected in the Indo-Pacific region. The Bicolor Angelfish is one of the least aggressive of the genus but more than one should still be added at the same time to avoid excess aggression. It is not the best suited dwarf Angelfish for a reef environment since it is well documented that this species likes to pick at clam mantles as well as many different stony or soft corals. It is possible to keep it in a reef tank dominated by mushroom coral and polyps however. They will stay away from other invertebrates such as shrimp, snails and crabs.
Diet In the wild the Bicolor Angelfish has a varied diet consisting of algae and crustaceans. Be sure to add this specimen to a well established tank and feed frozen mysis shrimp, meaty crustaceans such as shrimp and clams. Be sure to include algae such as spirulina. Scientific Name Centropyge bicolor Reef Compatible With Caution Care Level Intermediate Disposition Semi-aggressive Min. Tank Size 30 gallons Mature Size 6 inches Diet Omnivore Range Coral Sea, New Caledonia, Fiji

I received my order today. It is clear that your company strives for customer satisfaction. You need to be commended for that. I appreciated the updates on the status of my order. I will not hesitate to order from Jeff's Aquatic Life in the future.

Your personalized service on my order was fantastic. I am branching out in my fish and aquarium choices, and your advice on product selection and use was very helpful. I will certainly come back to your site for my future aquarium needs!

Received my Nu-Clear Modular Canister Filter promptly the other day. It's exactly what I was looking for and will do the job for many years to come. I'd like to Thank Jeff of Jeff's Aquatic Life for all his support and information regarding my off the wall questions, he even located a hard to find part for my application. Jeff's Aquatic Life is #1 in my Aquarium Bookmarks. Thkx Jeff...joe :)

Hi Jeff, I can't speak highly enough for Jeff's Aquatic Life. Your business is special because you truly care about your customers and their aquatic life. Thank you for all your helpful advice. I especially appreciate you taking the time to send an illustrative photo of your inline filter. It was going above and beyond. Nemo passed this morning. Our poor Ranchu stopped eating on its own a couple of days ago. I guess he felt it was time. It is hard to say good-bye to an aquatic friend one has had for seven years. He was literally a handful. Can you see why our family called him our Gerber Baby Ranchu? J The tank and my heart are empty without him. The future fish our household acquires will most definitely benefit by your helpful advice. Thanks again. I look forward to continued business with Jeff’s Aquatic Life in the future. Keep up the great work!
Yours truly,
Jackie Tuscaloosa AL
Dear Jeff,
I received my order today; that's incredibly fast. I look forward to ordering more in the future. Best regards, Mike San Diego CA
Hey Jeff, I really appreciated your prompt shipping, I stumbled across your site by accident looking for the best price on the item I ordered. Well, not only did you have the best price out there, you are also located in CA, that means quick shipping for me. Thanks for communicating before and during my placing the order. Your live chat service is awesome! you definitely went in my bookmarks and your site is from now on my first checkpoint whenever I need something. Thanks,
Thilo Martinez,CA
Jeff's Aquatic Life has been sincerely the most helpful internet seller that I've had the pleasure to come across in quite a long time. His knowledge, can-do attitude and results all testify to his high ethic of customer service. While some sellers talk the talk... Jeff really walks the walk. I expect to be a long term customer of Jeffs and if you the reader have an inkling of sense... you will too. Thank-you again Jeff for your diligent help in getting my aquaponics systems up and running.
Sincerely, W. Bryant Johnson President JTC Consulting LLC
I just wanted to send in a note to thank Jeff in regards to his helping me find the right lighting for my tank. I have a custom, 60" tank in which I had been using standard, 48" light hoods from the local pet stores (i.e. Perfecto lights). I had initially gone onto http://www.jeffsaquaticlife.com/ to purchase a standard 48" T5 light fixture after one of my Perfecto light strips burned out (3rd one in 4 years). Thankfully, the light that I had chosen was out of stock. Jeff contacted me to get additional information regarding my tank setup and was able to design a retrofit lighting kit, including a moon light, for my tank for the same cost as the T5 fixture. He also helped me during the installation process to ensure that I had everything wired correctly! For the first time, light now reaches the corners of my tank.

After contacting several places with no luck, I searched the internet and stumbled upon Jeff's Aquatic Life. Jeff you had the item I needed and it was in stock! I read the reviews which were highly impressive and decided to place an order. I had no idea that the customer service would be so outstanding! The communication re: my order was A++. The item arrived on time in perfect condition. I will order from you again. Thanks JEFF.

“I received my Aqua Ultraviolet UV sterilizer and couldn’t be happier about my order. I especially want to thank Jeff, personally, for his customer service. A lot of companies can “talk the talk” – Jeff delivers. PayPal had an error with my account that Jeff called to my attention. I had ordered after hours Friday. Jeff was in e-mail contact with me over the weekend to get that resolved and delivery of my order to Colorado was faster than I had hoped for. Jeff was a pleasure to do business with and I will certainly be doing so, again. Thank you again, Jeff.
Best regards, Steve Galbraith, CO
Jeff no problem, using the light with two bulbs out, like I said if one goes out another also is out, but whoooo this light is nice, and this with two bulbs out.!!. The bulb is no big deal, not your fault new bulb was bad from maunfacturer this happens . Great service thank you so much for the fast shipment and super great price. Nice to actually talk with a supplier that knows his stuff, is a fellow hobbiest, and personal service. You answer the phone and are available. Feel free to share this e-mail with whom ever, fellow fish people need to know about you.
Thanks, Todd Schmadl, Wiscosnin Dells, Wiscosnin.

Hey Jeff, I just wanted to give you big thanks for an exceptional experience!! I've been an aquarium hobbyist/enthusiast on and off for the past 13 years and recently decided to get back into it. In the past I've done everything from fresh to salt, fish to coral. This time around I wanted to do something that was both relatively simple to maintain and visually rewarding. I came across Jeff's Aquatic Life after surfing the net for a couple days. This was the first time I purchased fish online and I was a little timid as to what I could expect. Immediately after getting the overall pricing for the fish and shipping cost, my mind began to be placed at ease. Your pricing on the fish/shipping was hands down the cheapest that I've come across! When the fish arrived, they were larger than I expected and all 5 in fantastic shape!! To my amazement, they appeared not to endure even the slightest stress during their some 2,000 mile journey. In fact, within the first 30 minutes of being acclimated to their new home, they were already eating! Shipping was fast and the communication was even better!! Thanks again for a great experience!! I look forward to dealing with you in the very near future, have a great day!!!!
Sincerely, Jerry Wisser Michigan
Well, I got my T5 light today and would like to thank Jeff (Jeff's Aquatic Life) for the great shopping experience. Cross border shopping can be a bit of a pain with customs but Jeff looked after everything from his end and my package arrived with no problems. Even though the carrier managed to test the package to the limits my light came through unscathed (great pack job). Thanks for all your help
Mike, Calgary, Alberta, Canada
