OVERVIEW

The Angelfish is native to tropical South America and are commonly found in slow-moving streams, floodplains, and swamps, in warm, acidic water with no salinity.

Angelfishes are active, showy fish that swim in the mid-levels of the tank, weaving in and out of plants.

With enough space to claim their own territories, angelfish are peaceful fish, but when housed with too many fish of their kind, angelfish fight  to defend their space or claim a mate. 

Scientific Name: Pterophyllum Scalare
