Colin’s Angelfish
Centropyge colini (Colin’s Angelfish)
The Colin’s Angelfish is a charming and highly sought-after dwarf angelfish known for its vibrant yellow body and electric blue accents. The bold blue dorsal fin gives this species a distinctive “mohawk” look—adding personality and flair that’s sure to stand out in any reef aquarium.
Wild-caught Colin’s Angelfish have long been rare in the aquarium trade due to their limited natural range. Unfortunately, they are also notoriously difficult to acclimate, often struggling with poor appetite and long-term survival in captivity.
Captive-bred Colin’s Angelfish, however, are a completely different experience. Raised in aquariums from birth, these individuals are significantly hardier, already accustomed to prepared foods such as marine pellets and frozen offerings, and far better adapted to life in home aquariums.
Even with these advantages, this species remains sensitive to unstable or fluctuating water parameters, immature systems, and poor water quality. Colin’s Angelfish thrive best in very mature, stable aquariums with ample live rock for grazing, shelter, and security.
Best kept in:
-
Very mature, well-established aquariums
-
Stable systems with excellent water quality
-
Tanks with abundant rockwork and hiding spaces
The Colin’s Angelfish is an outstanding choice for aquarists seeking a rare, personality-packed dwarf angelfish with improved captive success—when given the mature environment it requires.

ORA Neon Dottyback
Quick View$45.00Vibrant, hardy, and full of personality, the ORA Neon Dottyback is a truly stunning fish, showcasing electric blue and bright orange coloration that pops in any aquarium.
This species requires an aquarium of 30 gallons or larger, with plenty of live rock and caves to provide hiding places. Neon Dottybacks are curious, bold, and moderately territorial, making them best suited for tanks with other semi-aggressive to aggressive tank mates.
Keeping more than one dottyback is possible if the aquarium provides ample rockwork and hiding spaces. In some cases, adding multiple small individuals at the same time can even result in the formation of a spawning harem.
Diet: Readily accepts frozen mysis, brine shrimp, and other meaty foods.
Hardy and captive-bred by ORA, the Neon Dottyback is an excellent choice for hobbyists looking for bold color, resilience, and engaging behavior.
While they may nip at very small ornamental shrimp, they usually leave corals and most other inverts alone. They are also known for helping reduce unwanted pests like bristle worms, making them a great addition to a pest-control-minded reef keeper’s system.
