High Coverage Orange Koi Angelfish are selected for intense color and near full body orange coverage. Smaller fish will show lighter coloring but develop into striking adults with proper diet and housing. Unlike some breeders who rely on heavy astaxanthin supplementation, our fish develop their color naturally through quality foods and proper care.

Description

Nearly Full Body Orange Coverage Developed Through Focused Breeding

Our High Coverage Orange Koi Angelfish represent years of focused selective breeding aimed at achieving the deepest, most intense orange coverage possible. Where most Koi angelfish fall into the Deluxe Tri-Color range of 25 to 75% orange coverage, our High Coverage Orange Koi are selected specifically for near full body orange coloration with little to no white remaining as adults. We are now consistently achieving close to 100% coverage, a goal that has taken many years of dedicated breeding to reach.

Importantly, this color is developed naturally. We do not rely on heavy doses of astaxanthin supplements or Carophyll Pink to achieve these results. Our fish are raised on our own quality pellets and flakes, and their color will not fade in your tank when maintained on an appropriate diet.

Caring for Your High Coverage Orange Koi Colors will continue to develop and intensify through all stages of growth, with fully mature adults displaying the most deep and saturated orange coloring. To help your fish reach their full color potential we recommend the following:

Diet: Foods containing natural shrimp or krill ingredients provide the natural astaxanthin needed to develop and maintain orange tones without artificial supplementation. Heavy carotene loading is not required.

Environment: These fish require a healthy, uncrowded environment to reach their full color potential. We also recommend a dark substrate and dark background as this helps to highlight and intensify the orange tones significantly.

Recommended Foods for Maintaining Intense Orange Coloring

Grand Champion A pellet food widely used by angelfish and discus breeders for supporting growth and color development.

Artemia Flake Artemia is a general term for many types of shrimp including brine shrimp. A natural source of astaxanthin for supporting and maintaining orange coloring.

Fin Types Available in both Standard and Veil fin types when in stock.

 

 

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.
