The **Bluefin Angelfish** is a striking dwarf angelfish with a deep blue and black hue. This species can be a wonderful addition to smaller fish-only aquariums and reef tanks, though caution is advised. **Bluefin Angelfish** can grow up to 5 inches and require a minimum tank size of 55 gallons. They may show aggression towards other dwarf angels, so keeping them in groups is best in larger tanks. While not typically reef-safe due to their tendency to nip at corals and invertebrates like clams, some aquarists have successfully kept them in reef environments, depending on the fish's temperament. The **Bluefin Angelfish** features a dark golden center with black vertical stripes and fins highlighted in blue. As omnivores, they need a diet that includes both meaty and plant-based foods, such as mysis and brine shrimp, spirulina, and high-quality pellets and flakes.
