About this fish

Amapa Angelfish is a great pick for planted aquariums, chosen for colour, movement, and personality.

Why you will love it

  • Feature fish in larger community aquariums
  • Approx size in store: 10cm +
  • Works best as a feature fish with calm tankmates
  • Specialist community - semi-aggressive

Care requirements

  • Care level: Moderate
  • Adult size: 15 cm
  • Temperature: 24 to 29°C
  • pH: 6.0 to 7.0
  • Swimming level: Middle
  • Minimum group size: 1

Feeding: Offer a varied diet. A quality staple (flake or micro-pellet) plus frozen foods (brine shrimp, daphnia, bloodworm) several times per week keeps colour and condition strong. For algae grazers, include wafers and blanched veg.

Compatibility: Best with peaceful, similarly sized tankmates. Avoid fin-nippers with long-finned species and avoid aggressive fish with shy species.

School of Scape quality: We select healthy fish and recommend acclimation and stable parameters for best results.

Perfect addition

Added these to my community tank and they fit right in. No aggression, great colour, and the delivery was quicker than I thought it would be living regionally.
