Remarks: Angelfish (Pterophyllum scalare) are easy-going cichlids that do well in almost any community tank. Captive bred specimens can tolerate a wide range of pH values and are typically peaceful enough to be kept with most tetras and other peaceful South American cichlids. Due to their long ventral fins, we do not recommend keeping them with very nippy fish such as tiger barbs or zebra danios. Breeding Angelfish can often be achieved by giving them a vertical, flat surface to spawn on, such as a leaf of an Amazon Sword or a piece of slate leaning against the wall. Fry will be cared for until a few weeks after they are free swimming, though you can remove the fry or eggs and hatch them artificially if you wish. It is usually best to isolate breeding pairs in their own tank when spawning as they can become territorial. The Assorted Angels are variable in color and pattern and we do not guarantee specific patterns.
