Use plants and smooth wood to break lines of sight while keeping open water available. Filter effectively without forcing fish to swim continuously against a strong current.

Stable conditions are more useful than abrupt chemical adjustments to chase a pH target; check the water the fish are currently held in before introduction. What will you receive? Assorted Angelfish 3-5cm from available stock, in the quantity ordered and selected option. Colour, markings and exact size vary between individuals. A particular sex or bonded pair is not specified. Select Small, Medium or Large as offered. The title gives an approximate 3–5 cm sale range, but exact measurements for each size option are not specified; contact NTA if size is critical. Assorted colours depend on availability; a particular strain or colour mix is not guaranteed. Acclimation & Introduction Have the aquarium ready before arrival and follow the supplied livestock acclimation guidance. Reduce lighting during introduction, avoid sudden changes in temperature or water chemistry, and monitor interactions with existing fish. Ongoing Care Offer suitably sized quality flakes or small pellets, with foods such as frozen brine shrimp for variety. Young angelfish need several small meals spread through the day; avoid a large single feed and remove uneaten food. Check that each fish gets food and maintain regular water changes. Pairs perfectly with Tall aquarium plants and smooth driftwood with open swimming space Reliable heating, biological filtration and water tests Suitably sized tropical fish foods; frozen brine shrimp for dietary variety NTA Insight:An assortment is a selection option, not a guarantee that several juveniles will remain compatible as adults. Plan for separation if a pair begins defending a territory. Before You Buy Plan for adult dimensions, not just the sale size. Avoid fin nippers and companions small enough to be swallowed. Keeping juveniles together does not guarantee long-term harmony; pairs may drive other fish away as they mature. If choosing among Small, Medium and Large, confirm actual measurements where important. FAQ Can I choose a particular colour?Specific colours and fin types are not guaranteed in an assortment. Contact NTA before ordering if a particular appearance matters. Can Assorted Angelfish live with small tetras or shrimp?They may eat small fish and shrimp as they grow. Select companions by adult size, behaviour and matching water requirements rather than treating any species list as a guarantee. Does buying two guarantee a breeding pair?No. Sex can be difficult to establish, and two fish may not form a compatible pair. Spawning and successful fry rearing are not guaranteed.
