Common Name: Angelfish
Scientific Name: Pterophyllum scalare Family: Cichlidae Origin: South America Maximum Size: 5-8 Inches in captivity Care: This fish is generally peaceful, but will get aggresive in spawning. These fish are one of the most popular tropical fish out there. With there beautiful triangle shape and long lace ventrals, no one can resist bringing these guys home. These fish come in many variables including Gold, Albino , and black. This fish are starting to be one of the most popular fish in the world. Feeding: This fish will be alright with flakes, but they do prefer live or frozen foods. My angels LOVE bloodworms and earthworms. Sexing: Sexing this fish is impossible, exept when breeding. Breeding: This fish is a cichlid, and like many of them, once a pair is formed they will be strongly bonded to each other. They will lay eggs on a leaf, mostly Amazons, but they will mostly put them on the corner of the tank. The parents will protect there eggs and fry from the other fish. They are some cases were the parents will even kill fishes 4 times there sizes just to protect their babies.  Thanks to angel_lover for his beatiful angel picture |
