Care Guidelines
Aquarium Setup:
Assorted Angelfish thrive in well-planted tanks with plenty of vertical space for their tall fins. A tank size of at least 150 liters (40 gallons) is recommended for a small group. Include driftwood, rocks, and broad-leafed plants for shelter and aesthetic appeal. Ensure gentle water flow and stable conditions to support their delicate nature.
Water Parameters:
Maintain a pH range of 6.5 to 7.5 with a temperature between 24°C and 28°C. Soft to moderately hard water replicates their natural Amazonian environment. Regular water changes and efficient filtration are essential to keep their water clean and healthy.
Diet:
Angelfish are omnivorous and enjoy a varied diet. Feed them high-quality flakes or pellets as a staple, supplemented with frozen or live foods like bloodworms, brine shrimp, and daphnia. Occasional vegetable-based foods, such as blanched spinach or spirulina flakes, can help enhance their coloration and health.
Growth and Maintenance:
Angelfish grow at a moderate rate, reaching up to 15 cm when fully mature. They require consistent care, including regular tank maintenance, water parameter monitoring, and a balanced diet. Trim plants as needed to prevent overcrowding and allow free swimming space.
Compatibility:
Assorted Angelfish are peaceful but can exhibit mild territorial behavior, especially during breeding. Ideal tankmates include tetras, rasboras, Corydoras catfish, and other non-aggressive community fish. Avoid pairing them with fin-nipping species or very small fish, as they may be seen as prey.
