Scientific and common names:
The Angel Fish Zebra Angelfish, scientifically known as Pterophyllum scalare, is a popular freshwater fish species. It is commonly referred to as the Zebra Angelfish due to its striking black and white striped pattern.

Habitat:
Zebra Angelfish are native to the Amazon River basin in South America. They inhabit slow-moving rivers, flooded forests, and shallow streams with dense vegetation.

Tank setup:
To provide a suitable habitat for Zebra Angelfish, it is recommended to have a tank size of at least 20 gallons. The tank should be well-filtered and have plenty of hiding spots, such as plants, rocks, and driftwood. Maintaining a stable water temperature between 75-82°F (24-28°C) is crucial for their well-being.

Diet and nutrition:
Zebra 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. Providing a balanced diet is essential for their overall health and vibrant coloration.

Behavioral traits:
Zebra Angelfish are known for their graceful swimming and peaceful nature. They are generally compatible with other peaceful fish species, but caution should be exercised when keeping them with smaller fish, as they may be seen as potential prey.

Care level:
Zebra Angelfish require moderate care and attention. Regular water parameter monitoring, maintaining a clean tank, and providing a balanced diet are essential for their well-being.

Breeding and reproduction:
Breeding Zebra Angelfish can be a rewarding experience. They are known to form monogamous pairs and exhibit parental care towards their eggs and fry. To encourage breeding, a separate breeding tank with suitable conditions, such as slightly acidic water and flat surfaces for egg attachment, is recommended.

Health and disease prevention:
Maintaining good water quality and providing a balanced diet are crucial for preventing diseases in Zebra Angelfish. Regular observation for signs of illness, such as loss of appetite, abnormal swimming behavior, or visible abnormalities, is important. Quarantining new fish before introducing them to an established tank can also help prevent the spread of diseases.

Optimal water conditions:
Zebra Angelfish thrive in slightly acidic to neutral water conditions. The recommended pH range is between 6.5-7.5, with a water hardness of 4-8 dGH. Regular water changes and the use of a reliable water conditioner are essential for maintaining optimal water conditions.
