Special requirements

  • Breeding Substrate

    Requires an angled flat surface for spawning, such as slate, a large leaf, or a flowerpot positioned at approximately 30 degrees in moderate water flow.

  • Social Pairing

    To establish a breeding pair, it is recommended to house several angels together until they naturally pair off.

  • Aquarium Layout

    Needs a well-planted tank to feel secure, but requires ample open swimming space due to its tall, compressed body and long fins.

  • Balanced Nutrition

    Must be provided a diverse diet that includes both vegetable matter and high-protein meaty foods to maintain health and color depth.
