Description
The Lemonpeel Angelfish is a striking dwarf angelfish known for its brilliant yellow body, often accented with blue rings around its eyes and blue trim on its fins. This active species is a popular choice for marine aquariums due to its vibrant coloration. While generally hardy, it can exhibit territorial behavior, particularly towards other angelfish or similar-shaped tankmates.
