The acanthops centropyge fish, also known as blue stains angel, is a marine fish belonging to the Pomacanthidae family. It measures about 13 cm long and has a characteristic appearance with a rounded body and well developed dorsal, caudal and anal fins. Its color is generally gray-blue, with distinct blue spots on the body and fins.

The blue stains fishing fish lives in the warm and shallow waters of the Indian and Pacific oceans, where it feeds mainly on small crustaceans and algae. It tends to live in groups, but can also be lonely.

The blue stains angel is a very popular animal in aquarophilia, due to its beauty and its ease of maintenance. However, he needs an aquarium big enough to develop well, as well as a substrate and plants to hide and eat. The blue stains fishing fish can also be shy and fearful, so it is important to introduce it into the aquarium with peaceful fish and offer it a calm and stress-free environment.

Due to its popularity in aquarophilia, the blue stains fishing is largely high in captivity, which has contributed to its conservation in nature. However, as with all marine species, it is important to make sure not to overexploit wild populations and to preserve the natural habitat of the Angel-Angel with blue spots to guarantee its long-term survival.
