There has been some
controversy about the scientific name of Angel Fish.
Some experts think that the common aquarium
Angel Fish may be a hybrid of the two wild species,
P. eimekei and P. scalare, listed above. There is at least one more species
of wild Angel Fish named Pterophyllum altum, and
there is at least one report of it hybridizing with
the common aquarium Angelfish.
Here
is
Tom's
55-gallon
aquarium,
which
contains
55-gallons
of
water,
several
ceramic
ornaments,
and
a
dozen
large
Angelfish,
that
were
obtained
from
AquariumFish.net
and
raised
in
this
aquarium.
You
can
see
individual
pictures
of
some
of
these
Angels
below
on
this
web
page.
Comments
There are veil tail and
regular tail Angel Fish varieties and an assortment
of different color varieties. All Angels are wonderful
aquarium fish. Although they are a little delicate
when small, they grow fast and get stronger. They
are not difficult to breed and many aquarists enjoy
raising the babies. Click
here for more information about breeding fish.

Breeding Freshwater Angel Fish by
Tom and Nevin Bailey

about keeping Pet Fish in aquariums, fish
bowls, and ponds.

here to visit another web site with lots of
information about Angel Fish including details about
breeding Angels and a picture of a pair of Angel
Fish laying eggs.
The picture on the left was
taken by Tony Terceira of a Marble Veil Tail Angel
Fish that he got from us. The Angelfish on the right
is a nice Black Angel with long pointed fins in
a large aquarium in our facility.
Appropriate Home
A large tall aquarium
with at least 29 gallons of water, an
exterior power filter with a BIO-Wheel, a maximum
of 1/4 inch of
gravel, and an
aquarium heater adjusted to so the water temperature
is between 78 and 82 degrees F. Click
here for more about warm water aquariums. Click
here
to see a picture of my new 30 gallon aquarium with
an Eclipse Cover. The water in this aquarium is
24" deep and just about ideal for Angel Fish.

Recommended Diet
Floating flake food and
freeze dried blood worms, which are actually mosquito
larvae. Both of these foods are available in most
stores that sell pet fish.
Feed Angel Fish an
occasional treat of live Black Worms and live or
frozen brine shrimp. Click
here for more about feeding fish. You can feed
your Angel Fish a few live Black Worms. The ideal
amount seems to be three or four Black Worms every
other day. Be sure the worms are very clean and
in good condition. Never feed questionable worms
to any fish.

here for more about live Black Worms.
The
fish,
shown
just
above,
is a
Silver
Veiltail
Angel.
It
lives
in
Tom's
55-gallon
Angelfish
Aquarium
and seems
to
be
different
from
most
Silver
Angels,
because
it's
body
and
fins
are
covered
with
small
red
markings.
As
you
can
see,
it
has
very
long
branched
pelvic
fins.
It's
also
very
energetic
and
healthy
and
is
almost
certainly
a
male
but
has
not
spawned
yet.
This
Gold
Veiltail
Angel
also
lives
in
Tom's
55-gallon
Angelfish
Aquarium,
which
is
shown
above.
This
Marble
Veil
Angel
lives
in
the
same
aquarium.
This
fish
has
a
beautiful
golden
glow.
Another
beautiful
Angel
from
the
same
aquarium.
All
these
Angels
were
obtained
from
AquariumFish.net
and
raised
in
the
same
55-gallon
aquarium
together.
Compatibility
Either one Angel to an
aquarium or more than 3. Angels are Cichlids and
like most Cichlids, if you keep just 2 or 3 in the
same aquarium, the strongest one will make the others
miserable. Angels do very well in a group with 6
or more Angels in a large aquarium with at least
50 gallons of water that is at least 18" deep.
As Angel Fish grow
larger, they become very efficient at stalking and
eating small fish like Guppies and Neon Tetras.
So they are not compatible tank mates for these
fish. Click
here to read more about several other groups
of compatible fish.
Angels are susceptible to a disease
called Hole in the Head. Click
here for information about this disease.
Size and Life Span
Angel Fish can grow to
be 12" tall and probably taller. I have seen Angel
Fish with bodies 6" in diameter, but it is unusual
for them to grow this big. Angel Fish are known
to have lived for at least 10 years, and with exceptionally
good care they can probably live even longer.
