Pygmy Angelfish

[Patriot54]

What is the smallest of the pygmy angelfish?

 

[Sheol]

I believe its the white-tail, C. flavicauda. Or maybe its Foster's, a very close relative.
C. argi, the Cherubfish, is no heavyweight either..

I had always thought C. argi was the smallest.
If not, it is probably very close, and certainly the most readily available and easy to keep.

I think C argi is at least one of the smallest if not the smallest, but it is a mean fish so you may want to choose one that gets a little bigger but is not as agressive.

 

[romsoccer12]

are c.argi's big on coral eating?

 

[Sheol]

No, but they aren't totally safe with coral either. Almost no angel is, you just have to cross your fingers. C. argi is one of the safer ones. All the very small Centropyge have a bit better record plus smaller mouths! ( I'm not joking, less damage..)
Oops, I meant Fisher's Angel. It gets to 2.5 inches, C. argi gets to 3.1..
