Angelfish: I was thinking about this the other day. I was going through and kinda listing- What are my favorite fish. Like
Number one- I’d have to say angelfish. Yep- out of all of the freshwater fish out there. I am taking angelfish. And yo folks- this is over Red
Ryukin goldfish, and bosemani
Rainbows.
So on this species Sunday- we are gonna be talking about angelfish. Angelfish come from all over south
America and the amazon basin. The scientific name Pterophyllum is derived from the
Greek πτερον, pteron (fin/sail) and φυλλον, phyllon (leaf).
Which obviously their tall fin shows us how they got their name.
They are a part of the cichlid family and will show their aggressive behavior and bullying of each other. This is kinda what I like about them- they are graceful looking but don’t take any shit!
They have that territorial behavior. Especially when breeding- I have found that the best way to get them to breed is to purchase a group of like 6 of them as juveniles and let them pair off on their own.
NOTE: for me, at one
point in the pre YouTube erra I had a two breed sets of them in this tank, which were separated with a giant mass of water wisteria- Personally-
I believe fish- Like humans like a privacy when they wanna get busy if you know what I’m saying. At this time I had one who was the “5th” wheel who just got pounded between the two breeding sets
Breeding these fish is pretty easy to do, which is part of the reason they are so readily available in the hobby. Also too, generally speaking, you would rather have a captive bred fish than a wild caught one as they are hardier. My guess is that 99% of the fish you see in the shops are breed in captivity. The exception would be Altums which leads me on to some of the different varieties of these bad boys.
Why not start with the sweetest variety- Altums. So sweet. These are the most pimp
Angel fish I have seen. They get 30 cm
OR A FOOT TALL! They are WAY more sensitive and have a rough time in shipping. They require a PH as low as 4.8-6 with very little hardness in the water- If you can keep a light flow under them in the tank.
Live Black worms for food. Tap water lots of driftwood.
Colombia and
Venezuela, where it occurs in the upper
Rio Negro and tributaries of the upper
Rio Orinoco including the Rio Inìrida and Rio Atabapo.
Yes there are other kinds of Angelfish.
