???? Freshwater Angelfish (Pterophyllum)
???? Species
There are three main species in the Pterophyllum genus:
Pterophyllum scalare – the most common in aquariums.
Pterophyllum altum – larger and more delicate; native to deeper waters in the Amazon.
Pterophyllum leopoldi – rare and smaller, more aggressive.
Most aquarium varieties are selectively bred P. scalare.
???? Varieties & Colors
Through selective breeding, angelfish come in many color and fin types:
Silver (wild type): Classic striped body
Marble: Mix of black and white or yellow
Koi: White with red/orange splotches
Veil tail: Extra-long fins
Gold, Black, Zebra, Albino, Pearlscale – many more!
???? Behavior & Temperament
Peaceful but semi-aggressive—especially during mating or in small tanks.
Hierarchical—establish pecking orders.
Best in groups of 4–6 if tank is large enough.
Can eat very small fish (like neon tetras) if given the chance.
???? Breeding
Form monogamous pairs and often breed in aquariums.
Lay eggs on vertical surfaces (like filter tubes or broad leaves).
Parents guard the eggs and fry, though some may eat them if stressed.
Fry can be raised on baby brine shrimp or powdered food.
????️ Tank Conditions
Size: Minimum 20 gallons for a pair; 40+ gallons for a group
Water temperature: 75–82°F (24–28°C)
pH: 6.5–7.5 (slightly acidic to neutral)
Filtration: Gentle; strong current stresses their long fins
Tank shape: Tall tanks preferred due to body shape
????️ Feeding
Angelfish are omnivores:
Staple diet: High-quality flakes or pellets
Supplements: Frozen bloodworms, brine shrimp, daphnia
Vegetables: Some like blanched spinach or zucchini
Feed 1–2 times daily, enough they can eat in 2–3 minutes.
❤️ Lifespan & Care
Lifespan: 8–10 years
Need stable water conditions—sensitive to ammonia and nitrites
Weekly water changes (25–50%) are essential
Avoid sharp decorations (can damage fins)
???? Tankmates (Compatible)
Corydoras catfish
Platies (larger types)
Larger tetras (like lemon, black skirt, bleeding heart)
Gouramis (careful with fin-nippers)
Bristlenose pleco
Avoid:
Fin-nippers (like tiger barbs)
Very small fish (like neon tetras)
Aggressive cichlids
