Welcome to the Freshwater Angelfish Forum

Angelfish (Pterophyllum scalare) are a South American cichlid and are one of the most popular fish in the aquarium hobby. They come in a variety of colors and are as tall as they are long. Since they are so tall, they need tall tanks rather than long tanks.

A single angelfish can grow up to 6 inches in body diameter and needs a larger tank than most other fish of equal length. At first, the angelfish is a very shy fish and spends most of its time hiding. However, before long this very personable fish warms up to its new home and can be seen swimming toward the front of the tank begging for food!

In the wild, the freshwater angelfish resides in the Amazon River basin in Peru, Colombia, and Brazil, especially the Ucayali, Solimões, and Amazon rivers. Other habitats include the rivers in French Guiana and Guyana. This fish prefers swamps or flooded grounds that have dense vegetation and clear or silty water.
