Assorted Colour Angelfish

An attractive selection of Angel fish in assorted colours and patterns. Every fish is unique and they will vary from the photo. Angels have long graceful fins and a distinctive triangular shape. 

They are measured from the tip of their nose to the end of their tail and sizes may vary slightly. 

Scientific Name: Pterophyllum scalare

Belonging to the Cichlid family, Angelfish originated from the Amazon River in South America. Due to their distinctive shape and multiple colour options, they are a popular species for aquariums.

As juveniles, Angelfish tend to be peaceful when kept in a community tank. However, as they mature and begin breeding, their territorial instincts may manifest. It is important to note that larger Angelfish may occasionally prey upon smaller fish in their environment.

Angels, in ideal circumstances, can grow to 15-20cm. They would require a large tank and very good husbandry to reach this size.

Angels are bred in many colour forms including Albino, Black, Gold, Silver, Marbled and Koi. 

Care Level: Angels are easy to care for.

pH: 6-7.5

Temperature: 24-28 degrees Celcius

Diet: Angels are Omnivores and enjoy Pisces Tropical Pellets or Tropical Flake Fish Food. They normally eat well and may enjoy Live Food, vegetables and frozen brineshrimp or bloodworms. 

Temperament: Generally peaceful (Territorial when breeding) 

Compatibility: Angels enjoy living in a small school of 5-7. They are also an ideal addition to community tanks. Generally, they are best kept with similar sized fish for example Gouramis, Dwarf Cichlids, Mollies, Sharks, Catfish or Large Tetras such as Congo or Emperor Tetras.
