Perfect for Planted Aquariums Assorted Angelfish thrive in planted tanks and aquascapes with tall plants, driftwood, and open swimming space. Their height and graceful fins make them especially striking in vertically designed aquariums. Breeding Behavior Angelfish are egg-layers and will naturally pair off in a mature aquarium. During breeding, they may become more territorial, especially around their chosen spawning site. What to Expect Each angelfish is selected at random. Colors, patterns, and fin types will vary, giving you a unique and beautiful addition to your aquarium.
