Tall, graceful and long-lived, angelfish grow to around 15 cm in body length and up to about 20 cm tall including the fins, so they need a tall, spacious aquarium. Peaceful for a cichlid, it makes a striking centrepiece for a community of suitably sized fish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eNatural Habitat\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe angelfish comes from the Amazon basin in Peru, Colombia and Brazil, and from rivers of the Guianas, where it lives in slow, heavily vegetated swamps and flooded areas. The gold colour form does not occur in the wild; all gold angelfish in the trade are captive-bred. Tall plants and upright wood echo its natural home and give it places to shelter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAppearance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAngelfish have a tall, disc-shaped body with long, flowing dorsal and anal fins and trailing pelvic fins. The gold colour is a recessive trait, meaning a fish must inherit the gene from both parents to show it, and it removes the black vertical bars of the wild form. The crown is usually the most intensely coloured part. The red eye is normal for angelfish and is not a sign of albinism; albino angelfish have pink eyes. Males and females look alike and are very hard to tell apart outside spawning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTemperament and Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePeaceful towards fish too large to eat, but angelfish squabble among themselves and a pair becomes territorial when breeding. As they grow they will eat small fish such as neon tetras, so tank mates must be chosen with adult size in mind. Their long fins attract fin-nipping species. Angelfish use the middle and upper levels of the tank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFeeding\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the wild it feeds mainly on small crustaceans and invertebrates.

Keep temperature at 24–30°C, pH 6.0–7.5 and soft to moderately hard water up to around 15 dGH (a measure of water hardness). Tall plants such as Amazon swords and Java fern, gentle filtration and regular partial water changes suit it well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBreeding\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAngelfish lay their eggs on vertical surfaces such as broad leaves, slate or pipe, and both parents clean the site, guard the eggs and look after the fry. Well-conditioned pairs can spawn every one to two weeks. Because the sexes are so hard to tell apart, the usual approach is to raise a group of around six young fish and let pairs form naturally.
