The bicolor angelfish (Centropyge bicolor, also known as Oriole Angelfish) is a marine angelfish, with an easily recognisable yellow front and a dark blue rear completed with a yellow tail. This species is widely distributed in the South Pacific. The bicolor angel fish has a maximum size at just under 15 cm making it a relatively large member of the Centropyge (Dwarf Angelfish) genus.

Despite being favored by many aquarists, the bicolor angelfish can be very difficult to keep, even experts often find it difficult to keep them beyond an initial acclimatisation period.

• Distribution: Indo-Pacific

• Minimum Tank Size: 55 gallons
• Temperament: Timid and skittish
