Captive breeding / propagation

The offspring of Centropyge heraldi are possible. Unfortunately, the number of offspring is not large enough to cover the demand of the trade. If you are interested in Centropyge heraldi, please ask your dealer for offspring. If you already own Centropyge heraldi, try breeding yourself. This will help to improve the availability of offspring in the trade and to conserve natural stocks.

Info

Woods & Schultz, 1953

Centropyge heraldi is Often confused with Centropyge flavissima (Lemonpeel Angelfish), Centropyge heraldi lacks the characteristic blue markings around the eyes, gill plates and caudal fins of Centropyge flavissima. It is a very common Angelfish found in Indo-Pacific and will do well in an established aquarium utilizing live rock for grazing and hide will offer.

Centropyge heraldi is extremely aggressive towards its own species and towards fish with similar coloration or shape, especially Centropyge flavissima (Lemonpeel Angelfish). It will do well in a aquarium with peaceful or semi-aggressive fish as long as it is added close to last. It is likely to pick at stony and soft corals but will completely ignore non-sessile invertebrates such as shrimp and crabs.

Centropyge heraldi to keep best with coral is to keep it well fed and purchase small or medium sized individuals.

Hermaphrodite - changes sex from female to male. Forms harems of 2-4 individuals

Wir pflegen dieses wunderschöne Tier seit 6 Jahren in unserem Becken. Er ist inzwischen ausgewachsen und klar der Chef im Ring. Wedelt mit der Schwanzflosse alles weg, was nicht erwünscht ist. Besonders Neuankömmlinge im Becken. Die müssen immer erstmal ein paar Tage unter ihm leiden. Bei Aufregung bekommt er dunkle Ringe um die Augen, die sich dann aber sehr schnell wieder geben. Ansonsten absolut Pflegeleicht. Geht an jedes Futter und ist bei uns absolut unempfindlich gegen Schwankungen bei der Wasserqualität.
Möchte diesen Fisch in unserem Becken nicht mehr missen!

Western Pacific to Indonesia; 10 cm; very common
Common in southern Japan, sometimes in our area; a specimen with a jet black spot on
dorsal fin is only a variation of this species from Coral Sea, Fiji, Solomons, Samoa, and
Tonga that is imported on rare occasion; a misidentification shown as ‘ C.woodheadi ’ in
our book Angelfishes (Debelius, Tanaka & Kuiter, 2003); the spot will fade away in tanks
and becomes a normal C.heraldi; easily adapted, but sometimes soon dies
