Product Description:
The Gold Angelfish, scientifically known as Pterophyllum Scalare, is a breathtakingly beautiful fish that will captivate any aquarium enthusiast. With its stunning golden coloration and graceful fins, this angelfish is sure to be the centerpiece of your aquatic display.

Habitat:
Gold Angelfish are native to the South American rivers and streams, particularly in the Amazon basin. They are accustomed to warm and soft water conditions, with temperatures ranging from 75°F to 82°F (24°C to 28°C). These fish prefer densely vegetated areas with plenty of hiding spots.

Tank Setup:
To provide a suitable habitat for your Gold Angelfish, it is recommended to have a tank size of at least 20 gallons. The tank should be well-planted with live or artificial vegetation to mimic their natural environment. Driftwood and rocks can also be added to create hiding places. A gentle water flow and subdued lighting are ideal for these fish.

Diet and Nutrition:
Gold Angelfish are omnivorous and will readily accept a variety of foods. Their diet should consist 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 and vibrant coloration.

Size and Growth Rate:
When properly cared for, Gold Angelfish can reach a size of up to 6 inches (15 cm) in height. They have a moderate growth rate, with juveniles growing approximately 1 inch per month. It is important to provide adequate space for their growth and to avoid overcrowding in the aquarium.

Behavioral Traits:
Gold Angelfish are generally peaceful and can be kept with other peaceful fish species of similar size. However, they may become territorial during breeding or if their space is invaded. They are known for their graceful swimming and can be observed gliding through the water column.

Care Level:
The care level for Gold Angelfish is considered moderate. While they are not overly demanding, they do require stable water conditions and a well-maintained aquarium. Regular water changes, proper filtration, and monitoring of water parameters are essential for their well-being.

Breeding and Reproduction:
Gold Angelfish are known to form monogamous pairs and can be bred in captivity. To encourage breeding, a separate breeding tank with flat surfaces for egg attachment should be provided. The parents will guard and care for the eggs until they hatch. It is important to note that breeding can be a complex process and may require specific conditions and techniques.

Health and Disease Prevention:
To maintain the health of your Gold Angelfish, it is crucial to provide a clean and well-maintained aquarium. Regular water testing, proper filtration, and a balanced diet are essential. Quarantining new fish before introducing them to the main tank can help prevent the spread of diseases. It is also recommended to observe any signs of illness or abnormal behavior and seek appropriate treatment if necessary.

Optimal Water Conditions:
Gold Angelfish thrive in soft and slightly acidic water conditions. The recommended pH range is between 6.0 and 7.0, with a water hardness of 3 to 8 dGH. It is important to maintain stable water parameters and avoid drastic fluctuations.
