Albino Manacapuru Angelfish will thrive in a heavily planted aquarium with driftwood and/or rock formations and gentle water flow. It is not overly reclusive, but this fish strongly prefers the cover of plants and, due to its body shape, is not likely to seek refuge in rock caves and similar structures.


Introducing the Albino Manacapuru Angelfish (Pterophyllum scalare), a captivating and unique addition to any aquarium. With its stunning albino coloration and graceful presence, this angelfish species is sure to make a striking focal point in your tank. Here's everything you need to know about these beautiful fish:

  • Albino Beauty: The Albino Manacapuru Angelfish boasts a mesmerizing albino coloration. Its body is pale white, and its eyes have a striking red or pinkish hue. The contrast between its coloration and the flowing fins creates an ethereal and eye-catching appearance that will instantly grab attention.

  • Manacapuru Origin: This angelfish variant originates from the Manacapuru region in Brazil. The wild-caught specimens were selectively bred to develop the stunning albino coloration seen in captive populations today. They retain the elegant body shape and long, trailing fins characteristic of the angelfish family.

  • Peaceful Nature: Albino Manacapuru Angelfish are generally peaceful and well-suited for community aquariums. However, it's important to provide them with adequate space and compatible tank mates. Avoid keeping them with aggressive or fin-nipping species, as their flowing fins make them vulnerable to such behavior.

  • Ideal Tank Setup: These angelfish thrive in well-maintained aquariums that mimic their natural habitat. Provide a spacious tank with plenty of swimming space and vertical structures such as tall plants and driftwood for them to explore and establish territories. A tank size of at least 30 gallons is recommended for a small group.

  • Water Conditions: Albino Manacapuru Angelfish prefer slightly acidic to neutral water conditions. Aim for a pH range of 6.5 to 7.5 and a temperature between 75-82 degrees Fahrenheit (24-28 degrees Celsius). Regular water changes and the use of a reliable filtration system are essential to maintain optimal water quality.

  • Feeding Habits: These angelfish are omnivorous and will readily accept a variety of foods. Offer them a balanced diet that includes high-quality flakes or pellets, supplemented with live or frozen foods such as bloodworms, brine shrimp, and daphnia. Providing a varied diet will help ensure their nutritional needs are met.

  • Breeding Possibility: With proper care and conditions, Albino Manacapuru Angelfish may breed in the aquarium. They are substrate spawners, and pairs will lay their eggs on a flat surface, such as broad-leaved plants or spawning cones. If you're interested in breeding, it's recommended to provide them with suitable spawning sites and monitor their behavior closely.

The Albino Manacapuru Angelfish is a stunning and unique variety that adds a touch of elegance and beauty to any aquarium. Its ethereal coloration and graceful movements will captivate the eyes of all who observe it. By providing them with a suitable environment and proper care, you can enjoy the splendor of these mesmerizing angelfish in your own aquatic sanctuary.
