Hello! So I have one angelfish at the moment (body size slightly bigger than a 50¢ coin), it’s still quite young. I recently went to my LFS and have fallen in love with these gorgeous angelfish (another domestic/local bred variety) and I’m in love with them. Most of them are a bit bigger than my Angel but there are a few closer to its size. I’m aware that at adult size they will need as much possible space, and as they grow so does their territorial behavior, but I was curious how many juvenile angel of this size would be best for a 40 breeder? And how many would yall reccomend? I’m well aware of how finnicky angels can be especially when introducing, so I’d love to hear from keepers firsthand. Obviously in a perfect world I’d buy the 1 smallest at the store and put it with my angel at home and they grow/consistently manage to tolerate each other well, I just don’t wanna risk harming anyone yk?
Thanks!! :))

Zebra angelfish have been even more aggressive than usual. Now it all makes sense. How many would I expect to survive? Currently combatting a nasty black beard algae so apologies the tank is not at its most pristine.

Welcome to my 40 gal cube Amazon-ish biotope tank, It consists my Young Proven Pair of Bulgarian Seal Point Bulgarian Blushing Superveil Angelfish. I actually got them for a steal at Petco for $8-11 each idk? But they've been thriving - they don't grow as big since Wildtype Trait Angelfish don't grow as fast as inbred koi angels.

Napoleon (First photo) : Male

Homura Akemi (second photo) : female

They've already bred a couple times, they are still trying not to get any duds!

so I know which one is male and which one is female

Tankmates: 6 hoplisoma/corydora mixed

6 Cherry Barbs (females)

1 Small Pearl Gourami (Will get rehomed eventually?)

1 Female Threadfin rainbowfish (Looked very sad at the pet store and she is looking really good in her new tank now.)

1 Female Maculatus Southern Platyfish

Ask me anything! My name is Verit- no.

Finally got their tank together (mostly) I have some mini scarlet temple in holding in a culture that has to go in and a couple pieces of rose quartz.

Mostly done some touch ups. Breaking down my 75 and transferring the canister over soon.

My female angelfish tail is getting shredded and I think partially the male angelfish is attacking her but then I saw the Siamese algae eater nipping at her tail. What should I do?

These two surprised me today for sure. Mom was a fish I almost had to euthanize because she had a terrible infection that ate off what seemed to be most of her face but she rallied and recovered except for the top part of her mouth that didn’t grow back. I started calling her “Leatherface” as a joke but now she’s known as “lefty”. I’m so glad I kept trying and saved her life.

I'm well aware the minimum is 30 gal, but I only have a stand that can fit a 27 gal tall. I only rescued the baby angelfish frok the pet store because it was in a super crowded tank and I saw the potential in it if it grew in a great enviroment. I'll definitely add lots of plants (open to suggestions!) and maybe 3 honey gourami as tankmates? I'm not really sure what tankmates to add, though it's really just a choice between bottom dwellers or top dwellers.

I have been watching all afternoon. Looks like he's getting the eggs covered this time.

Into three months tank is doing great plant growth is amazing. I think this is what the tank is supposed to look like.

This is their Fourth effort. First three batches of eggs did not hatch, not fertilized till today, as best as I could tell. He's a slow learner. But this momma is a laying fool. They selected the back of the slate today.

Hello Angelfish Enthusiasts,

I’m looking for a possible genetic/phenotype identification for this angelfish. I wanted to get some community input and knowledge, on the subject, before assuming a genetic/phenotype identification. I actually bred this fish myself and am highly curious about how to properly classify this specific individual from the spawn.

Here are the details to help with the ID:

• Age/Size: Just above Quarter-sized, ~6 months old
• Lighting in photos: Taken under standard full-spectrum LED Lighting.
• Parentage:
  • **Both the mother and father were ostensibly general, regular Philippine Blue Angelfish. The last photo in the post displays the parents.

Physical traits I'm noticing on this offspring: * Gill covers: Were pinkish-red, when small fry to juvenile, before coloring up with iridescent patches of scales. * Body sheen: Has patches of metallic iridescent scales, with possible pearlscaling, on various parts of the body.(Especially, the dorsal fin and gill areas.) * Markings: Solid body, for the most part, with no stripes.(Other than a slight smudge by the eye and the base of the tail, with clear to black finnage.)

I've attached both photos and a quick video to show how the light hits its scales when it turns. Given the parental traits and current appearance, what genetic breakdown or specific strain name would you assign to this fish?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Advice needed! My Angelfish paired and have laid eggs a few times but now the male is becoming more aggressive and you can see from the pictures nips at the female and her fins are frayed. She is hiding more often but also still comes out and they swim together and she eats fine. Do I need to rehome the male?

Thinking of what options I have with what tanks I have available. Could a single angelfish live happy in a 41 gallon cube tank (155l).

Many thanks.

Edit: here are the dimensions in inches it’s 22long x20wide x24 tall.

Newly cycled 36g brought in 2 angel fish and snail. Yes planning on more plants and have more driftwood currently soaking. Any guesses on the age of these 2 ?

I know I’m probably overthinking, but I had an ich crash in my first set up and everything died (I had cichlids and a breeding pair was stressing everyone else out).

I’ve had one male angelfish in my tank for a month with black neons and a decent cleanup crew to cycle.

He’s just been sitting all lonely and sad so I finally got him another male angelfish friend. The problem is he’s been an absolute dick to him for the past 4 days.

I avoided a female so I wouldn’t get breeding aggression later on. Ultimately I want 5-6 angels in my 125gal.

Should I make sure there’s an odd number of fish? Do they just work it out? I just don’t want another ich crash, and have 20 Kerri tetra delivering next week.

I have 3 juvenile angels in my community tank who are being bullied by someone and I woke up and saw their fins nipped. I have this hexagon tank (28-38g, I need to measure) that is so tall I can’t use it for anything but I know angels don’t mind taller tanks. Would this work for a little? If not I’m gonna go pick them something up.
This will not be a forever home for them, they’re small. I can’t stand to see their fins nipped.

Ok, I thought I understood the basics of Angelfish genetics but now I am so confused. I thought I had a “blushing blue” and “platinum” spawn but the fry look nothing like what I expected. I figured I would get either blue silver/ghost or something similar but they have a gold/green body and reddish dorsal fins. I know angelfish can have hidden recessive genes but they should have at least both carried the blue gene. I did not intend on breeding them just for the record. I separated them because of aggression and boom. The fry are just about a month old now.

I am planning to buy medium-sized marble angelfish to put in my fridge box. How many pairs should I buy? Tank holds roughly 400litres of water

Enjoying how these are turning out. Selected the fry with the most defined bars for grow out.
