The Flame Angelfish is arguably the most popular and iconic dwarf angelfish in the marine hobby, loved for its intense, fiery coloration. Sporting a brilliant red-to-orange body adorned with bold vertical black bars and electric blue accents on the tips of its dorsal and anal fins, it is an instant showstopper. This hardy, highly active fish spends its day darting in and out of rockwork, adding an unmatched burst of warm color and energy to mid-sized marine systems.
