General Comments: The Cherub is one of the smallest species of Dwarf Angelfish available. These Angelfish should be added to an established system with plenty of rockwork for grazing and to feel comfortable. As with the majority of Dwarf Angelfish there is a chance that this fish will nip at corals and clams. The Cherub is a very popular Angelfish to keep in Reef Tanks as they are a more reef safe species. It is advise not to house two Centropyge Angelfish in the same aquarium as they will fight.
