Eibli’s Angelfish

Eibli’s Angelfish (Centropyge eibli)

The Red Stripe Angelfish, also known as Eibli’s Angelfish, Eibl’s Pygmy Angelfish, Orangelined Angelfish, Blacktail Angelfish, and Eibl’s Dwarf Angel, features a pearlescent body adorned with evenly-spaced orange to red vertical stripes. The back of the body and caudal fin are black, complemented by a vibrant sapphire-blue stripe outlining the caudal fin.

To thrive, the Red Stripe Angelfish requires a 70-gallon or larger aquarium with abundant live rock for hiding and grazing. Although typically docile, it can become more assertive once established and is best kept without other Dwarf Angels. There’s a possibility of occasional nipping at sessile invertebrates and clam mantles.

Breeding in an aquarium is extremely challenging, and there are no distinguishing characteristics to differentiate between males and females.

Its diet should consist of Spirulina, marine algae, mysis or frozen shrimp, and other meaty items.
