    Good Points: Very graceful fish with long flowing fins
    Easier to keep than discus
    Available in lots of different colours
    Courtship behaviour is quite unique !


    Bad Points: Will eat all your smaller fish - but it is a cichlid after all !


    General comments: The angel fish is a South American species of Cichlid closely related to the Discus but is a little more tolerant of water conditions. It still requires acidic (PH less than 6.5) and good water conditions with zero Nitrite and Nitrate levels. Water temperature between 72 and 84 - possibly 86 degrees for breeding.
    The angel fish is a predator and relies on ambush techniques to take its prey. If you have neon tetras in your tank and other smaller species - you will need to remove these first prior to putting angels in.
    These fish are taller than they are wide with tip to tip reaching a maximum of 50cm on some species so care is needed when choosing species in relation to your aquarium size.
    Spawning can take place on long leafs of plants or even slate after thorough cleaning takes place by the male - it is quite a display to watch !
    The Koi angelfish is a black and white fish with orange around the head and is a very attractive variant of this species and I found quite easy to breed with the young fry not too difficult to rear.
    Highly recomnended !
