Enhance your tank with Assorted Angelfish. These colorful and graceful fish add elegance and charm to any aquarium setup.

Overview:

• Assorted Angelfish, also known as Pterophyllum scalare, are iconic freshwater fish prized for their striking appearance and graceful movements.
• With a variety of color variations available, these angelfish add vibrancy and beauty to both community and planted aquariums.

Water Conditions:

• Temperature: Maintain water temperatures between 75°F to 82°F (24°C to 28°C) for optimal health and comfort.
• pH Levels: Keep pH levels between 6.5 to 7.5 to mimic their natural habitat in the Amazon basin.
• Water Hardness: Prefer soft to moderately hard water with a dGH range of 5 to 12.

Tank Mates:

• Peaceful Community Fish: Assorted Angelfish are compatible with a wide variety of peaceful community fish, including tetras, rasboras, gouramis, and corydoras.
• Avoid Aggressive Species: Avoid housing with aggressive or fin-nipping fish, as Angelfish have long, flowing fins that may be targets for aggression.

Feeding Habit:

• Omnivorous Diet: Assorted Angelfish are omnivores and will accept a variety of foods, including high-quality flakes, pellets, live, and frozen foods.
• Vegetable Matter: Supplement their diet with vegetable matter such as blanched spinach or cucumber slices to provide essential fiber and nutrients.
• Feed Regularly: Offer small, frequent meals throughout the day to mimic their natural feeding behavior and prevent overeating.

Care:

• Tank Size: Provide a spacious aquarium of at least 20 gallons for a pair of Angelfish, with additional space for larger groups or other tank mates.
• Aquascaping: Decorate the aquarium with driftwood, rocks, and plants to provide hiding spots and vertical structures for Angelfish to explore.
• Water Quality: Maintain excellent water quality through regular water changes and efficient filtration to prevent stress and disease.

Behavior:

• Mid to Upper Level Swimmers: Assorted Angelfish typically occupy the middle to upper levels of the aquarium, occasionally venturing to the bottom to explore.
• Pair Bonding: These fish form strong pair bonds and may exhibit territorial behavior during breeding, especially if nesting sites are present.

Breeding:

• Pair Formation: Angelfish form monogamous pairs and may exhibit courtship behavior, including cleaning and defending a chosen spawning site.
• Egg Layers: Females deposit adhesive eggs on a cleaned surface, and both parents guard and care for the eggs and fry until they are free-swimming.

Challenges:

• Aggression: Monitor tank mates closely to prevent aggression, especially during breeding or if territorial disputes arise.
• Disease Susceptibility: Angelfish are susceptible to common freshwater diseases, so maintaining optimal water quality and quarantine procedures for new arrivals is crucial
