Our newest development, Marble Point Angelfish!
These angel have no dark pigment on the body due to the Bulgarian Green genes, but you can see a faint marbling pattern, similar to an albino. Light body can be a platinum or off white or even take on a faint green coloring as they mature.
| Scientific Name | Pterophyllum scalare |
|---|---|
| Temperament | Semi-Aggressive. Angelfish can make good community fish; however, due to their semi-aggressive nature, they need to be closely monitored...and deal with if they become too aggressive. For this reason we do not recommend angelfish for beginners. |
| Lifespan | 10-15 years with proper care. |
| Adult Size | The central body will reach a large dollar coin, approx 3-4 inches in diameter, excluding the fins. Depending on the fin type on how big their overall size can become. Also, angelfish will continue to slowly grow and bulk up as they age. |
| General Hardness | 8 dGH or 100 TDS. Angelfish do best in soft water, but can easily adapt to hard water. If mineralization is too high eggs may not hatch. When this happens may need to consider alternate methods if wanting to breed. |
| Tank Size | 20 Gallon High for the first angelfish; and an additional 10 gallons for each additional angel. |
| Group Size | Angelfish can be kept in singles or in groups. While juveniles, they do best in groups. But once they mature, they may begin to fight for territory and for their mate. To minimize squabbles, do not house 3 together as the dominant two will pick on and potentially kill the submissive one. |
| Habitat | Freshwater |
| Dietary Needs | Omnivore. Angelfish extra protein and plant sources for optimum health. Options include:
|
| Breeding | Angels can learn to parent raise their offspring if housed in their own tank 29 gallons or larger; or can pull the eggs and hatch artificially. |
| Temperature | 78-80F |
|---|---|
| TDS | 80-100 |
| pH | 7.4 - 7.6 |
| Nitrates> | Less than 20ppm |
