Angelfish are freshwater fish from the family Cichlidae's they originate
from the Amazon River, Orinoco River and Essequibo River basins in tropical South America.
They are unusually shaped for cichlids being greatly laterally compressed
with round bodies and elongated triangular dorsal and anal fins.
This body shape allows them to hide among roots and plants
often on a vertical surface.
It wasn't until the late 1920's to early 1930's
that the angelfish was bred in captivity in the United States.
The average size for a Angelfish is up to 6” long and 10” in height
Life Span 10 to 12 years with proper care.
Diet Food may be flaked, dried, frozen, or live
Occasional treats of bloodworms or brine shrimp are greatly appreciated
Avoid exclusive food which is not nutritionally complete.
Feeding Depending on size, feed small amounts two or three times a day
no more than fish can eat in three to five minutes
Thaw frozen foods before feeding.
