Description
These are fully grown angelfish from the Amazon basin, where they live among submerged roots and dense marginal planting. At adult size they can reach 15cm long and considerably taller again with the fins, which is a good deal bigger than most people expect from the juveniles usually on sale.
Special requirements: Angelfish need height as much as length, so a deep tank suits them. They can be kept as a pair or in a group, though a group will usually pair off and the pair will defend a patch of the tank, particularly when breeding. Bear in mind that adult angels will eat very small fish such as neons, so choose tank mates that are too big to be seen as food.

Ordering livestock
We strive to ensure that we honour all orders placed online. However, we are a small, busy shop and tracking livestock inventory can be challenging. If we are unable to fulfil your order, we will contact you as soon as possible to discuss options so that you can decide how you would like to proceed.
If livestock are appearing out of stock on our website, it does not necessarily mean that they are not available in store. If there is something that you are looking for, please contact us and we will be happy to discuss what is possible.
If you would like to view footage of the particular fish that you are looking to purchase, please contact us and we will send footage as per your request.
