The scientific name for Angel Fish Pterophyllum Scalare Mix is Pterophyllum scalare. It is commonly known as angelfish.
Habitat:
Angelfish are native to the Amazon River basin in South America. They inhabit slow-moving rivers, flooded forests, and swamps. These fish prefer areas with dense vegetation and submerged tree roots.
Tank Setup:
To provide a suitable habitat for your angelfish, it is recommended to have a tank with a minimum capacity of 20 gallons. The tank should be well-filtered and have a heater to maintain a temperature range of 75-82°F (24-28°C). Angelfish appreciate a planted tank with hiding spots and open swimming areas.
Diet and Nutrition:
Angelfish are omnivorous and have a varied diet. They can be fed a combination of high-quality flake or pellet food, supplemented with live or frozen foods such as brine shrimp, bloodworms, and daphnia. It is important to provide a balanced diet to ensure their optimal health.

Behavioral Traits:
Angelfish are known for their graceful swimming and elegant appearance. They are generally peaceful but can become territorial during breeding or if their territory is invaded. They are compatible with other peaceful fish species, but care should be taken to avoid aggressive tankmates.

Health and Disease Prevention:
To ensure the health of your angelfish, it is important to maintain good water quality, provide a balanced diet, and avoid overcrowding. Regular observation of their behavior and appearance can help detect any signs of illness. Quarantining new fish before introducing them to the main tank can help prevent the spread of diseases.
Optimal Water Conditions:
Angelfish prefer slightly acidic to neutral water with a pH range of 6.5-7.5. The water temperature should be maintained between 75-82°F (24-28°C). It is recommended to use a reliable water testing kit to monitor ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate levels.
