Bluefin Angelfish: A Hardy and Resilient Dwarf Angelfish

The Bluefin Angelfish (Centropyge multispinis), also known as a Bluefin Dwarf, Brown Pygmy Angelfish, Dusky Angelfish, Dusky Cherub, Many-Spined Angelfish, and Multi-Spined Angelfish, is a beautiful and exceptionally resilient dwarf angelfish that makes a great addition to most marine aquariums. It is characterized by its subtle but appealing coloration, which is typically a deep brown or black with delicate, often indistinct, horizontal stripes. Known for its incredible hardiness and active personality, the Many-Spined Angelfish is a perfect choice for beginner and experienced hobbyists alike. It is a constant forager, exploring rockwork and adding a lively presence to your tank.

Why the Many-Spined Angelfish is a Great Choice:

• Exceptional Hardiness: This species is incredibly resilient and easy to care for, making it a perfect first fish for a new tank.
• Active and Engaging: Its constant movement and foraging behavior add a sense of energy and life to your rockwork.
• Generally Reef-Safe: While its behavior should be monitored, this species is a great candidate for many reef tanks and is less prone to nipping corals than larger angelfish.
• Compact Size: Its small size makes it suitable for a wider range of tank sizes.

Important Note: Like most dwarf angelfish, this species can be territorial. It is best to introduce it into a tank with a well-established aquascape to give it a place to hide and claim as its own.
