Habitat:
Common Angelfish are native to the Amazon River basin in South America. They inhabit slow-moving rivers, flooded forests, and shallow streams. In the wild, they are often found among submerged vegetation and tree roots.

Tank Setup:
To provide a suitable habitat for your Common Angelfish, it is recommended to have a tank size of at least 20 gallons (75 liters) for a pair. A larger tank will be required for a community setup. The tank should be well-filtered and have a heater to maintain a stable temperature between 75-82°F (24-28°C). It is important to provide hiding spots and plants for the angelfish to feel secure.

Diet and Nutrition:
Common Angelfish are omnivorous and will eat a variety of foods. Their diet should consist of high-quality flake or pellet food specifically formulated for angelfish. Additionally, they should be offered live or frozen foods such as brine shrimp, bloodworms, and daphnia to provide essential nutrients.

Size and Growth Rate:
The Common Angelfish typically reaches a size of 6 inches (15 cm) in height, with their fins extending beyond this length. The size of the fish being offered is 3-4 cm, indicating their juvenile stage. With proper care and nutrition, they will grow quickly.

Behavioral Traits:
Common Angelfish are generally peaceful, but they can become territorial during breeding. They are known for their graceful swimming and unique shape, with long, triangular dorsal and anal fins. They may occasionally nip at the fins of other fish, so it is important to choose tankmates carefully.

Health and Disease Prevention:
To maintain the health of your Common Angelfish, it is important to provide a balanced diet, regular water changes, and monitor water parameters such as temperature, pH, and ammonia levels. Quarantining new fish before introducing them to the main tank can help prevent the spread of diseases.
