Relatively robust and easy to acclimatize, Centropyge Bispinosa can be the first Angel of a Beginner Aquariophile. A medium size and peaceful character, it is compatible with a volume from 150 liters for an individual or 200l for a couple or a trio. We will avoid putting this fish in the company of other species of angels, because a war of territory can then be put in place, especially if the space is restricted, and the dominant will not cease to harass the lowest . In larger volume, several species (to the very distinct coloring pattern) can be collected, preferably by introducing them in a close way into the aquarium, so that all of them choose a personal space without resorting to force. Well at ease once acclimatized, relatively not very fierce for a centropyge, we can accompany Centropyge Bispinosa of all kinds of medium -sized coral fish and calm temperament.

Centropyge Bispinosa is frequent trade, it is even the most frequently offered with Centropyge Bicolor and Centropyge Loricula.
Very active during the diurnal phase, it is a lively fish, which circulates everywhere in the decor, sneaks between the rocks with fast and graceful movements. We will also often see him pecking on stones, looking for food: consumer of micro algae, various sessile organisms and benthic microfauna, he can lack varied nutrients in captivity: that's why we then see Sometimes Centropyge Bispinosa "folds down" to the fleshy hard corals and the Bets Coat. This is particularly the case of females in the reproductive phase, because they need quality nutrients to support the rhythm of the laying.
However, it is not very common with this species, which is the most reef safe of his family. Many will never touch a coral of their whole life in the aquarium. If we see her fish typing in a coral, it is not a fatality, we must try to calm the hunger of the Centropyge Bispinosa by offering it a maximum of varieties of high quality thawed meat (mysis, enriched artemia, Krill chopped, lobster eggs ...), the hull or chopped mold, plus a daily vegetable part like tender spirulina pellets, and if you find it, special preparations for angel fish (they are in the form of cubes frozen named "Pygmy Angel Formula", "Angel Formula").
If you have a large volume, hosting herbivorous fish to which you distribute dried nori leaves, you will see your Centropyge Bispinosa come and eat it. Likewise with the molds or shells given on pliers, dwarf angels also come to take their share on it.
Centropyge Bispinosa is also frequently detrimental and sometimes even a co -owner, it can help recycle waste from the aquarium before they pollute!
Most centropyges easily acclimatize to dry food (glitter and pellets).

His average life expectancy is ten years.
