Group care guide

Freshwater angelfish

  • For adult Pterophyllum scalare, Seriously Fish recommends at least 100 × 40 × 50 cm, including 50 cm height; tank volume alone misses fin height. Use the species water parameters and compatible stocking.
  • Avoid fin-nipping tankmates.
  • Flakes, pellets and frozen foods; they eat small fish like neon tetras as adults.
