Tigerpyge Angelfish – Centropyge flavissima x C. eibli
The captive bred Tigerpyge angelfish is an extremely colorful and highly sought after dwarf angelfish. This naturally occurring hybrid is infrequently found in the wild, which makes it uncommon in the aquarium trade.
These captive-bred Tigerpyge are better suited to life in aquariums and are raised on easy to use prepared foods from a very young age. The species is “reef safe with caution” and may pick at corals similar to other dwarf angelfish species like LPS, some soft corals, and clams.
Unless a mated pair, it’s best to keep one per tank. To pair Tigerpyge, it’s best to get two from the same batch so they’re already familiar with one another and introduce them at the same time.
These are already eating prepared foods readily.

Charles Payne –
The Tigerpyge angelfish arrived healthy and vibrant. It has adapted well to the tank and is now eating the prepared food daily. I kept it alone as recommended, and it’s very active and colorful. I’m happy with the purchase.
Anthony Hill –
This fish is stunning in appearance. It’s a bit shy at first but quickly becomes active. I followed the advice to keep one per tank and it’s doing well. I plan to add a second one from the same batch in the future.

The captive breeding makes a big difference. The fish is more resilient and easier to care for than wild-caught ones. It’s eating the flakes without any issues and looks great in the tank.
