Behavior

Abe’s Angelfish is an ultra-rare deepwater pygmy angel, known from just a handful of specimens and commanding extraordinary prices. Like other deep dwarf angels it is shy, prefers dim light and caves, and needs patience to acclimate.

Diet & Feeding

Omnivore. Offer angelfish preparations with sponge, mysis, and marine algae; frequent small feedings.

Cautions

One of the rarest aquarium fish in existence — a specialist’s fish. Prefers subdued lighting and cave-rich rockwork; acclimate light gradually. Reef safe with caution. Peaceful tank mates and pristine water essential.
