Angel

Pterophyllum scalare
This fish is a beautiful feature edition to any freshwater tank where tank mates are not fast moving or fin nipping. They are perfect to be kept in an Amazon habitat setup with lots of plants, open space to swim, drift-wood and acidic water conditions. They grow up to 15 cm. The tank depth size has to be 50 cm as this fish is flat, deep-bodied. Angels feel better if kept in groups of 3 or more. They take most foods like live and frozen, as well as young plant shots. Take care not to over feed !!!
There are many Angelfish varieties : Silver, Black Lace, Black, Half Black, Veil-tail, Marble, Golden, Blushing, Pearl and many more.
The water temp. should be around 27'C with 6,5 pH.
Broad-leaf plants such as Amazon Sword Plants are Angels favorites for laying their eggs on.
A medium sized Angel will make a meal out of you neons, so beware!
