Description

Stunning Contrast of Blue and Black

Our Blue Marble Angelfish combine the Philippine Blue gene with the Marble gene to create one of the most visually striking angelfish varieties available. As these fish mature and their blue tones develop and deepen, the contrast between the rich blue coloring and bold black marbling becomes truly breathtaking. No two fish are identical, with each individual displaying its own unique marbling pattern alongside the characteristic Philippine Blue iridescence.

Genetics Blue Marble Angelfish carry the Philippine Blue gene in a double dose alongside at least one copy of the Marble gene, expressed genetically as M/+ pb/pb or M/M pb/pb. The M/+ notation indicates one copy of Marble alongside the wild type allele, while M/M indicates a double dose which can result in more extensive and dramatic marbling coverage. As with all our angelfish, sourced from a dedicated specialty breeder to ensure quality genetics and healthy stock.

Fin Types Available in both Standard and Veil fin types.

Angelfish Care Guide and Other Information

Scientific NamePterophyllum scalare
TemperamentSemi-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.
Lifespan10-15 years with proper care.
Adult SizeThe 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 Hardness8 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 Size20 Gallon High for the first angelfish; and an additional 10 gallons for each additional angel.
Group SizeAngelfish 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.
HabitatFreshwater
Dietary NeedsOmnivore. Angelfish need extra protein and plant sources for optimum health. Options include:
  • Gourmet Cichlid Flake or Tropical Color Flake
  • Artemia Flake - especially when raising red or deep orange varieties
  • Newly hatched Baby Brine Shrimp Eggs (BBS)
  • Golden Pearls - great alternative to hatching BBS. A great alternative to hatching BBS.
  • Sticks - any flavor. Popular options include Beefheart Sticks, Bloodworm Sticks, Silkworm Sticks, Spirulina Sticks, Very Veggie Sticks, and much more.
  • Organic Granules
  • Repashy
  • Even fresh veggies and occasional fruits. But be aware, fresh foods can quickly pollute the tank. I like to use fresh foods 1-2 days before doing water changes or maintenance to clean up
BreedingAngels 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.
