Diet & Feeding
This angelfish survives mainly on algae so make sure and give it a good spirulina formula. It is important that you feed angelfish all kinds of live, frozen, and prepared formula foods. Pygmy angelfish are known to eat mostly algae in the wild, so a diet rich in vegetable matter is essential. There are several good commercial foods available including Formula II and Angel Formula.
Cautions
They should not be kept with other Dwarf Angels and only one should be kept per tank.
