Overview:

These come from the blue diamond line, but only have one copy of the blue gene. It's expressed in the fins, but their bodies have a red coloration.

Since its introduction into the aquarium hobby in 1909, Angelfish have been mesmerizing aquarists with their unique beauty. Back then, they were considered delicate, but these days most angelfish are considered hardy and easy to keep.

Being a cichlid, angelfish can be aggressive during breeding/courtship, but they are not nearly as aggressive as many cichlids and can be successfully maintained in groups and/or community aquariums if the setup is right. One of the best ways to mitigate aggression is to keep them in groups so no single fish or pair of fish gets too much of an upper hand. In groups, they will spar and display, but rarely do any real damage.

Setup Considerations:

Although they are not strong/fast swimmers and don't need room to race, angelfish grow quite large. This makes them a stunning centerpiece fish, but also means they need adequate space.

Diet:

Angelfish are grazers which will spend hours slowly perusing hardscape and/or plants for morsels of food. They are true omnivores which will readily eat almost any dry, frozen, or live food offered.
