Angel fish (Pterophyllum scalare) are popular freshwater fish known for their striking shape and flowing fins. They add elegance to any community aquarium and are appreciated for their peaceful temperament.

Caring for Angel Fish: Tips for a Healthy Aquarium

Angel fish thrive in tanks that are at least 20 gallons, with water temperatures between 74°F and 82°F (23°C to 28°C). They prefer slightly acidic to neutral water with a pH around 6.5 to 7.5. Angel fish are social and do well in groups, but they can be territorial, especially during breeding. Provide plants, rocks, and hiding spots to mimic their natural habitat. Maintain good water quality through regular filtration and partial water changes. They are omnivores and enjoy a varied diet of high-quality flakes, pellets, and live or frozen foods like brine shrimp and bloodworms. Proper care will ensure they display their beautiful fins and graceful swimming behavior.
