Centropyge flavissima offspring
Centropyge flavissima, the lemon angelfish, lives in the coral reefs of the tropical Pacific, mostly at shallow depths of up to 25 meters.
The lemon dwarf angelfish is imitated by young Acanthurus pyroferus. Dwarf angelfish live in harem groups.
Gender and mating The dwarf emperors are female from birth. If two fish are placed together, the more dominant animal becomes the male (=protogynous hermaphrodite). It is best to place two fish of different sizes at the same time.
If there is already a fish, the new fish should be either significantly smaller or larger. If a larger fish is added, this would be an advantage because then the aggression within the species is not as pronounced.
The size difference can be an advantage when pairing, but there will still be fights until the sex determination is finalized.
It is easy to keep with other fish. It is usually a hardy pet. Like all dwarf angelfish, it can pluck at flowering plants.
We would like to explicitly point out that mussels such as Tridacna should often not be kept together with this dwarf angelfish. When it comes to feeding dwarf angelfish, you should make sure to feed them a healthy mix of various types of food, frozen food, nori seaweed, banana or cucumber.
When it comes to Centropyge flavissima, one should only use captive-bred specimens, if available, despite the usually higher price.
The BaliAquarich breeding farm is currently being expanded in Bali. Such farms ensure a stable and sustainable livelihood for many families.
In addition, captive-bred animals are always significantly more stable than wild-caught and feed-fed animals.

Here are the instructions for unpacking and acclimating Berghia snails:
- Berghia snails are specialized feeders that only eat Aiptasia sp. It is important to always have enough Aiptasia for them or to pass them on in a timely manner.
- They are less suitable for larger aquariums with many fish, but if necessary they can be placed in the evening with the lights turned off using the transfer pipette.
- Direct contact between snails and Aiptasia should be avoided as this can lead to the death of the snails. The snails must make contact with the Aiptasia themselves.
- Berghia snails are ideal for controlling Aiptasia in small aquariums with peaceful fish or in separate "treatment aquariums".
- The snails delivered are not yet fully grown and can, if necessary, be fed in a separate aquarium until they reach the desired size.
- To open the Styrofoam box, simply pull on the blue ribbon. The insulated packaging does not need to be removed from the box. Allow the temperatures to equalize for around 10 minutes by placing the unopened transport container in the aquarium.
- Carefully unscrew the white lid anti-clockwise. The transport container may be full of sea water and individual snails may be stuck to the lid. If this happens, place the lid in a small bowl of sea water from the aquarium.
- Use the transfer pipette provided to remove the snails from the container and transfer them to the aquarium. Repeat the process with all snails.
- The insulated box is recyclable and can be disposed of as recyclables or used for other purposes.
- In case of a complaint, we ask for an email on the day of arrival with a photo of the snail in the transport cup for a replacement.
