Scientific Name: Pterophyllum scalare The Marble Angelfish is a classic freshwater angelfish variety known for its dramatic black, silver, and white marbled patterning. No two fish develop exactly the same markings, giving each Marble Angelfish a unique appearance while maintaining the graceful body shape and flowing fins that make angelfish such popular centerpiece fish. Marble Angelfish are an excellent choice for larger freshwater community and planted aquariums. As they mature, their tall bodies and extended fins create an impressive presence without requiring the enormous aquariums associated with many larger cichlids.
