| Angelfish |
Scientific Name: Pterophyllum eimekei/scolare
Origin: Amazon River
Temperature: 75-85 degrees Fahrenheit
Food: Mosquito larvae, flake food, bloodworms, brine shrimp
Care: Angelfish are very nice looking fish that can grow up to 12 inches in height and 5 ½ inches in length. Due to this, they do well in deeper aquariums. These lovely fish can live 10-12 years. They prefer to live in slower-moving water and should either be kept singly or in groups of three or more.

Sexing angelfish is difficult until they are ready to spawn. Both have a papilla that develops between the anal and ventral fin. The papilla of a female is larger.
