Marine Fish Perfect Health Promise

All marine fish have a Perfect Health Arrival guarantee. For the following reasons, we cannot guarantee beyond that.

A number of different reasons can affect why a marine fish does not settle into its new environment. These range from:

  • Unsuitable water conditions: incorrect pH, high ammonia and nitrite levels.
  • Tank bullies: some marine fish are very passive and will not mix well with more boisterous tank mates.
  • Incorrect tank size: please research the fish you are buying, as some will become stressed in a tank that is too small.

If you have any problems on arrival

Please contact us straight away and we will extend your guarantee until the fish is healthy again. You must call on the arrival day to activate this.

If any of your aquatic life dies during our guarantees and has been acclimatised in a mature aquarium, please take a photo and email it across and we will send you a credit note.

Please email photographs of the deceased specimens to sales@aquaticstoyourdoor.co.uk.

About this fish

THIS ITEM IS AVAILABLE BUT DELIVERY IS 7 DAYS FROM ORDER. PLEASE SELECT A DELIVERY DATE TO REFLECT THIS
What is its maximum size?The Fireball Angelfish can grow to approximately 7–8 cm (3 inches) in length, making it one of the smaller species of dwarf angelfish. Despite its small size, it is an active swimmer and can be surprisingly territorial. It requires a well-established aquarium with plenty of mature live rock, hiding places and swimming space.
Where is its origin and where is it exported from?The Fireball Angelfish originates from the Western Indian Ocean, particularly along the eastern coast of Africa, including Somalia, Kenya, Tanzania and Mozambique, as well as surrounding island regions such as the Seychelles and Mauritius.
It is commonly exported for the aquarium trade from countries within the Western Indian Ocean region, particularly East African coastal areas.
Is it reef compatible?Generally considered reef compatible with caution. The Fireball Angelfish can sometimes be kept successfully in reef aquariums, but individual fish may nip at LPS corals, some soft corals, SPS corals and clam mantles.
It may also pick at small ornamental invertebrates. Its behaviour can vary between individuals, so careful monitoring is recommended when introducing it into a reef aquarium. It is generally safer to consider this species a fish best suited to a fish-only or carefully monitored reef aquarium.
What should I feed it?Feed a varied diet consisting of marine algae, spirulina, high-quality marine angelfish preparations and enriched frozen foods such as mysis shrimp and brine shrimp. Foods containing sponge material are also beneficial as part of a varied diet.
The Fireball Angelfish is a natural grazer and benefits from having mature live rock with naturally occurring algae and microorganisms. Offer small portions approximately 2–3 times throughout the day to support its health, colouration and natural feeding behaviour.
How many can I keep?Best kept singly in most home aquariums. Despite being a relatively small dwarf angelfish, the Fireball Angelfish can be surprisingly territorial, particularly towards other dwarf angelfish and fish with similar body shapes or colouration.
Keeping multiple individuals may be possible in larger aquariums with plenty of space, rockwork and visual barriers, particularly if introduced together. However, keeping more than one is not generally recommended for the average home aquarium.
Avoid keeping it with other Centropyge species unless you have a suitably large aquarium and experience managing territorial behaviour.

How compatible is it with other fish?The Fireball Angelfish is generally suitable for a community marine aquarium, although it can become territorial once established. It is best housed with fish that are confident enough to stand their ground without being overly aggressive.
Suitable tankmates can include clownfish, tangs, wrasses, gobies, blennies, butterflyfish and other compatible marine species.
Avoid keeping it with particularly timid fish that may struggle to compete for food or cope with territorial behaviour. It is also advisable to introduce the Fireball Angelfish towards the end of the stocking process, allowing other fish to establish themselves first.
Provide plenty of live rock, caves and hiding places to help establish separate territories and reduce aggression.
