Pomacanthus zonipectus (Cortez Angelfish)
The Cortez Angelfish is a unique and eye-catching species native to the Eastern Pacific. While wild-caught specimens can be challenging to acclimate, these captive-bred juveniles are far better suited for life in home aquariums, offering improved hardiness and long-term success.
As juveniles, Cortez Angelfish display brilliant yellow and electric blue striations running along the body, making them exceptionally striking at smaller sizes. As they mature, this vibrant juvenile pattern gradually transitions into a more subdued green-blue adult coloration, highlighted by a bold yellow stripe extending over the gill plate.
This species is not reef safe. Cortez Angelfish are known to pick at corals and clam mantles and are best kept in fish-only or FOWLR systems where their natural behaviors won’t pose a risk to ornamental invertebrates.
Best kept in:
Fish-only or FOWLR aquariums
Mature systems with stable water parameters
Tanks with ample swimming space and rockwork
The Cortez Angelfish is an excellent choice for aquarists seeking a distinctive, captive-bred Pomacanthus species with striking juvenile coloration and long-term aquarium adaptability.

Centropyge flavissima (Lemonpeel Angelfish)
The Lemonpeel Angelfish is one of the most underrated dwarf angelfish in the marine aquarium hobby. Known for its intense, electric-yellow coloration accented by subtle light-blue highlights around the eyes, gill plates, and sometimes the lips, this species adds instant brightness and contrast to any reef or fish-only system.
Lemonpeel Angelfish remain relatively small, reaching a maximum size of about 5 inches, though most individuals stay slightly smaller in home aquariums. Like other dwarf angelfish, they benefit greatly from a thoughtful introduction—the use of an acclimation box is strongly recommended to reduce aggression and allow tankmates to adjust.
This species is considered reef safe with caution. When provided a varied, nutrient-rich diet and regular feeding schedule, many individuals coexist well in reef aquariums. However, as with all Centropyge angels, coral-nipping behavior is possible and should be monitored closely, particularly with fleshy LPS and soft corals.
Best kept in:
Established aquariums with stable water parameters
Systems with ample rockwork for grazing and shelter
Tanks where feeding is consistent and varied
The Lemonpeel Angelfish is an excellent option for aquarists seeking bold color, manageable size, and classic dwarf angelfish personality, making it a standout addition when housed in the right environment.
ORA’s captive bred Mandarin Dragonets do NOT require live foods. Ours readily feed on pellet and frozen foods, making them an easier to keep and ethical alternative to difficult wild caught Mandarins!Â
Synchiropus splendidus – Mandarin Dragonets are inarguably one of the most beautiful species on earth, which makes them very popular aquarium fish. Our mandarins have a mix of blue-green and red coloration on the body and deep blue accents on the fins. The coloration may appear different in varying lighting spectrums.  These photos show what our mandarins typically look like.
Unfortunately, the natural diet of wild caught mandarins is live food, which can be tedious and costly for many new hobbyists to provide, especially in immature or small tanks. Even if provided the best captive conditions, wild caught mandarins often succumb to wounds inflicted by spear guns or toxic cyanide used during the wild collection process. An overwhelming number of wild caught Mandarin Dragonets die in captivity for these reasons.

ORA Helmet Picasso Percula Clownfish
Captive Raised – Amphiprion percula
This beautifully patterned ORA Helmet Picasso Percula is captive raised and fully adjusted to aquarium life. These fish are known for their bold white helmet-style markings and vibrant orange coloration. Captive-raised clowns tend to be significantly hardier, more adaptable to prepared foods, and less stressed during acclimation compared to wild imports.
