Angelfish, Dwarf
Dwarf Angels are among the most colorful and popular of marine angel fish species. Growing to about four inches in length, these mild tempered fish adapt well to captivity and are compatible with many other species
Angelfish, Large
Large Angels are among the most popular fish for the home saltwater aquarium, and most marine angelfish adapt well to captivity. The diet of Large Angels consists of microalgaes, macroalgaes, sponges, and zooplankton. It is advisable not to introduce Angels from the same genus into one aquarium, as fighting will usually occur.
Anglers & Frogfish
While commonly referred to as Frogfish, Anglers can reach an average length size of three inches in captivity. Anglers adapt well to life in captivity, and are relatively hardy.
Basslets
MReaching an average length of two inches in captivity, Basslets are colorful, hardy, and generally peaceful, although they may become territorial. If more than one member of the species is added to the aquarium, add these fish simultaneously, as severe conflicts may arise. Offer these fish plenty of hiding places.
Blennies
Blennies reach a size of three inches and are typically bottom dwellers. Blenny Fish are somewhat territorial in nature, and only one species per tank is recommended. Extensive rockwork and a good growth of microalgae are necessary to successfully maintain them in captivity.
Boxfish
Boxfish reach an average size of three inches and adapt well to life in captivity if provided with plenty of rockwork and adequate swimming space. The diet of most Boxfish consists of sponges, tunicates, worms, and crustaceans. It is imperative to maintain Boxfish with peaceful tankmates.
Butterflyfish
Butterflyfish reach an adult size of six inches in captivity. The captive care of this group of fish varies a great deal due to the special feeding requirements (live coral polyp) of some species. A large tank with ample hiding places is needed to successfully maintain some species.
Captive-Bred Fish
Managing our marine resources is a key part of the long-term success of the aquarium hobby. Due to recent advancements in marine culture and fish farming, it is now possible to successfully breed and rear many species of marine fish in large numbers.
Cardinalfish
The average size of most Cardinalfish in captivity is two inches. These fish make great additions to a peaceful aquarium, adapting well to life in captivity.

These fish can be bred successfully in captivity, and the fry can be raised to adulthood with appropriate care.
