Depends on whether you want the classic angel fish or the (erm arrrgh i've forgotten their name) you know the ones with the indented nose that get deeper bodies and longer anal and dorsal fins........... Sorry this isnt much help is it really??? Bah someone will know i tell us both i hope.........I think its called the Altum Angel hope this is right (someone help please)

ah he we go, its the pterophyllum altum, the wild strain of angel fish, heres a pretty basic link for you http/www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_Di...=21&pCatId=1178 hope it helps but its a place to start a new search, yeah its common name is the altum

Actually the common name for the angels is scalare. The altums are another type of angels that have taller bodies and differences in their stripes. Altums have only been bred in captivity on a very small handful of times. In a tank thats 3 foot long I would put at a maximum of 3, 2 would be alot better though. When it comes to breeding, its alot more involved then having livebearers. Read the breeding section of my website for more details.
