Koi Angelfish (Pterophyllum scalare) (Live Fish)

Koi Angelfish (Pterophyllum scalare) are vibrant freshwater cichlids admired for their striking patterns of orange, white, and black that resemble traditional koi fish. Their bold coloration, combined with the classic angelfish shape and graceful fins, makes them a standout centerpiece in planted and larger community aquariums.

Best kept singly, as a bonded pair, or in small groups when young, Koi Angelfish thrive in mature, well-established aquariums with gentle water flow, ample vertical swimming space, and plenty of plants or driftwood for cover. Generally peaceful, they may become territorial as they mature or during breeding.
