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.
