Peruvian Altum Angelfish - 3.5cm (Pterophyllum scalare) (Live Fish)

Peruvian Altum Angelfish are impressive freshwater angelfish admired for their tall, elegant body shape, extended fins, and striking vertical banding. Their graceful appearance and commanding presence make them a beautiful centrepiece for spacious planted and Amazonian-style aquariums.

They thrive in well-maintained aquariums with stable, clean water, gentle to moderate filtration, and plenty of vertical swimming space. Tall plants, driftwood, and sheltered areas help create a natural environment while providing cover. As they mature, angelfish can become territorial, particularly when forming pairs or breeding, so adequate space and compatible tankmates are important.

Feed a varied diet of quality angelfish or cichlid pellets, flakes, frozen, and live foods to support healthy growth and condition.
