Product Description:

Scientific and Common Names: The Angelfish (Pterophyllum scalare) is a popular freshwater fish species known for its graceful appearance and vibrant colors. It is also commonly referred to as the freshwater angelfish or simply angelfish.

Habitat: 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: Angelfish require a spacious tank with a minimum capacity of 20 gallons for a pair. The tank should be well-filtered and maintained at a temperature between 75-82°F (24-28°C). They prefer soft, slightly acidic water with a pH range of 6.5-7.0. Providing hiding spots and plants in the tank is essential to mimic their natural habitat.

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. Offering a diverse diet ensures their nutritional needs are met.

Size and Growth Rate: Angelfish can grow up to 6 inches (15 cm) in height and have a lifespan of 10-12 years. They undergo a significant growth spurt during their first year, and their growth rate gradually slows down as they mature.

Behavioral Traits: Angelfish are generally peaceful but can become territorial during breeding or when establishing their hierarchy within a community tank. They are known for their graceful swimming and elegant fin movements. Angelfish are best kept in groups or pairs to prevent aggression.

Care Level: Angelfish require moderate care and attention. Regular water parameter checks, maintaining water quality, and providing a balanced diet are crucial for their well-being. They thrive in a calm and stable environment.

Breeding and Reproduction: Angelfish are known to form monogamous pairs and engage in elaborate courtship rituals. They are egg-layers and will lay their eggs on a flat surface, such as a broad leaf or a piece of slate. The parents guard and care for the eggs until they hatch.

Health and Disease Prevention: Angelfish are generally hardy, but they can be susceptible to common freshwater fish diseases such as ich and fin rot. Maintaining optimal water conditions, providing a balanced diet, and quarantining new fish before introducing them to the main tank can help prevent diseases.

Optimal Water Conditions: Angelfish thrive in water with a temperature range of 75-82°F (24-28°C) and a pH range of 6.5-7.0. They prefer soft to moderately hard water with a dH range of 3-8.

Lifespan: With proper care, Angelfish can live for 10-12 years, making them a long-term commitment for fish enthusiasts.

Additional Interesting Facts: Angelfish are known for their unique shape, with long, triangular dorsal and anal fins. They come in various color variations, including silver, black, gold, and marble patterns. Angelfish are popular choices for community tanks and can coexist with other peaceful fish species such as tetras, gouramis, and corydoras. Their elegant appearance and peaceful nature make them a favorite among aquarium hobbyists.
