The Red Stripe Angelfish is known by many names including the Eibl's Angelfish, Eibl's Pygmy Angelfish, Orangelined Angelfish, Blacktail Angelfish, and Eibl's Dwarf Angel; its pearlescent body is highlighted with several vertical, evenly-spaced orange to red stripes; the very back of the body and caudal fin are black, and a brilliant sapphire-blue stripe outlines the caudal fin. It requires a 70 gallon or larger aquarium with large amounts of live rock for hiding and grazing; with a tendency to be docile, the Red Stripe Angelfish can become more assertive once established; it prefers not to be housed with other Dwarf Angels and may occasionally nip at sessile invertebrates and clam mantles; it is extremely difficult to breed in an aquarium, and there are no distinguishing characteristics that help differentiate males from females; its diet should include Spirulina, marine algae, mysis or frozen shrimp, and other meaty items.
