Angel Fish

 

A member of the Cichlid family, Angelfish are popular freshwater fish and they are very beautiful. 

Live in, 

Angelfish are native to a large area of tropical South America, including much of the Amazon River system. In their natural habitat, they are found almost exclusively in quiet, slow moving water. In the wild they prefer dimly lit areas, under overhanging vegetation or among trees that have fallen into the river.

Size,

In general, Common Angelfish can be expected to reach a maximum length of 5 to 6 inches. However, all Angelfish are usually taller than they are long and Common Angels can be anywhere from 8 to 10 inches tall when fully mature. 

Colours, 

There are many variations of freshwater angelfish. Blue, black, silver, platinum, koi, and gold are just a few of the most common color variations. 

Diet,

Angelfish will feed at the surface or mid-water, however, in nature they often forage along the bottom looking for worms and small crustaceans. They are omnivores and will thrive on Aqueon Tropical Flakes, Color Flakes, Tropical Granules and Shrimp Pellets.
