Black Angelfish (Pterophyllum scalare) 4-5cm

Description

Black Angelfish (Pterophyllum scalare) is a striking freshwater fish known for its elegant, triangular shape and deep black coloration. 

 Species Profile: Black Angelfish

  • Scientific Name: Pterophyllum scalare
  • Family: Cichlidae
  • Origin: Native to the Amazon Basin in South America
  • Size: Typically grows up to 6 inches (15 cm) in body length, with fins extending even further
  • Lifespan: 8–10 years with proper care
  • Temperament: Semi-aggressive; best kept with similarly sized, peaceful fish
  • Tank Size: Minimum 30 gallons for a pair; taller tanks preferred due to their vertical fin span
  • Water Parameters:
    • Temperature: 75–82°F (24–28°C)
    • pH: 6.5–7.5
    • Hardness: 3–8 dKH

 Care Tips

  • Diet: Omnivorous — feed a mix of high-quality flakes, pellets, frozen foods (like bloodworms and brine shrimp), and occasional live foods.
  • Tank Setup: Provide plenty of vertical swimming space, gentle filtration, and plants like Amazon swords or Vallisneria.
  • Breeding: They form monogamous pairs and lay eggs on flat surfaces. Fry require separate care and specialized feeding.


Despite their peaceful appearance, angelfish can be territorial, especially during breeding. It's best to monitor tank dynamics closely if housing multiple angelfish.
