Fish details

• Natural origin: Tropical South America, including the Amazon basin
• Adult size: Common angelfish can reach about 6 inches (15 cm) long and 8 inches (20 cm) tall including fins
• Water type: Freshwater
• Temperament: Semi-aggressive; territorial behavior can increase when pairs form or breed

Recommended aquarium conditions

• Aquarium: 55 US gallons or larger recommended for adults, with generous height and space for their fins
• Temperature: 78–84°F (26–29°C)
• pH: Approximately 6.8–7.8 for common aquarium varieties; ask about the conditions of the current stock

Arrange broad-leaved plants and wood around open swimming areas. Provide gentle circulation and shaded retreats. Use an established, fully cycled aquarium, maintain effective filtration, and keep ammonia and nitrite at zero. Test water regularly and use conditioned, temperature-matched water for partial changes.

Feeding

Offer a varied diet of quality tropical flakes or appropriately sized pellets, supplemented with thawed frozen foods such as brine shrimp or bloodworms. Feed small portions once or twice daily and remove leftovers.

Compatibility and behavior

Choose peaceful tankmates too large to swallow that share the same water requirements. Larger tetras and suitable bottom-dwelling catfish may work well. Avoid fin-nippers, aggressive fish, tiny fish, and dwarf shrimp. Watch for bullying as angelfish mature; pairs may need their own space.
