Current Category Angels

Angels are one of the best known images of a tropical aquarium with their long trailing fins and graceful manner.  They are excellent aquarium fish and the huge array of selectively bred colour forms existing today is a testament to their popularity.

Angels are not fussy about water conditions and eat most fish foods.  They look best in a small group, in an aquarium decorated with some plants and driftwood for them to gracefully glide around.  They can be kept with most community-type fishes; the only exceptions being very lively fish (eg. Tiger Barbs) which may nip the Angels long fins, and fish such as small Neon Tetras which may be preyed upon by adult Angels.

Native to the Amazon River in South America, virtually all aquarium stock available is captive bred.  Angels grow to about 11-14cm in length, with their total height normally greater than their length.  Some varieties such as the veiltail can grow even larger, because of their greatly enhanced finnage.

The common name Angel normally refers to the species known as Pterophyllum scalare.  Several other wild forms/types of Angel are kept in aquaria, including the Orinoco Altum Angel, Peru Altum and Dumerilii Angel.  These latter varieties are not as commonly available, being harder to breed,  they are often only available as wild caught stock.
