Centropyge shepardi

PRICE ON REQUEST.

Centropyge shepardi, commonly known as the Mango angelfish, is a small angelfish. It looks similar to the more well-known C. loricula and can best be described as a loricula with thinner and more stripes. Shepardi also has a yellow caudal fin instead of orange.

Like all other angelfish it's hermphroditic and the most dominant fish will turn into a male when there is no other male around. These fish are quite peaceful but be careful combining them with fish a lot smaller or larger and other (dwarf)angelfishes. Although dwarf angels are certainly more likely to be reef safe compared to their larger relatives and thus seen more often in reef tank, they're always a risk. C. shepardi is considered peaceful and one of the most reef safe dwarf angels, but some individuals might harass certain corals (usually LPS or clams) to the point they can't be combined anymore. Keeping them well fed seems to reduce the risk, so make sure to feed them a proper varied diet of algae and meaty foods to make them really happy!
