Please be nice 🥲

Recently bought this beautiful creature from my lfs. The lady told me it was a juvenile but she struggled to recall the exact type. I have a freshwater tank.

Can anyone tell me what to expect for overall size? What is the type of angelfish? Male/female?

Also, this is my first angelfish. It’s in my office. When I enter in the AM, it’s usually hanging mid tank vibing but then after feeding/as the day goes on it just hangs out at the top of the tank over by where I sit. Not struggling to breathe, not frantic or anything, just…. Chillin.

Is it watching me..? Is this normal? I don’t know what type of behaviors to expect lol

TIA!

What is this in my young angels head?

I noticed white spots on my one angel out of 4 in the tank. She won't eat last couple of days. Added Mela fix and parameters were good except the nitrates were a bit high. So it's doing nothing, so did a 20% water change and used 3 gallons of spring water in a 30 gallon tank. So now using a parasite treatment right now and praying she makes it. Now she's stay at the bottom and seems weak. This is growing each day I'm kinda freaking out. Help

Best place to buy?

Red devil. Red koi. Any red angelfish. I saw a post yesterday about some red rose? Or something.
Wanting red mostly. Or other rare angels.

These two seem to fucking hate eachother. How can I help keep them apart while in the same tank? 3 angelfish in a 220L

I picked these guys up from CK fish world in west covina and I’ve never seen this color way before. Any ideas exactly how they’re so red?

Visited a monster fish shop in Bangalore and saw some insane predator fish 😳🐠

Hey everyone,

I recently visited a newly opened monster fish shop in Bangalore and honestly didn’t expect to see such huge and aggressive fish in one place. 😱

They had Arowanas, Oscars and many other monster fish varieties. The owner also shared tips about feeding, tank setup, fish care and beginner mistakes.

I recorded the full shop tour and interaction because I thought aquarium lovers here might enjoy it.

Would love to know which monster fish is your favourite 👀

Should I cut with RO or straight from the tap?

My water comes out of the well perfect for African cichlids but not so much for South American cichlids. Both gH and kH are over 300ppm and pH is somewhere above 8. Yet, silly me, I really really want to try to do some angelfish.

People seem quite divided on whether adjusting your water is worth it. I have a small RO unit that I could use to lower my TDS. But some people say domestic angelfish are pretty flexible and complicating things just creates room for error. What have your experiences been?

Angelfish Variant Identification

Hi,

so I have two angelfishes that are now breeding; I just want to make sure that their variants are Gold and Gold Marble? Google's AI is still a bit wonky and its saying something along the lines of them being gold pearlscale?

The male had outstanding wide fins and intense black D/D traits, he paired with a Black Marble (very dark) that has blue flecks. The fry are getting darker every day and the belly is the last to take on the full color so that will happen in the next few weeks. The fry also have the males wide fins, which is what I was hoping for. I am very happy with the results and vigor. This is a 44 gallon for reference. I estimate about 200 +. I will post pictures of the parents. This was their first spawn. Great parents. Got Halos!

Hi everyone , This is my first time owning angelfish (i have 8 tanks and have been in the hobby i know nothing about angelfish gendering though lol) & somebody was rehoming these guys due to medical reasons so i took them in. wanted to know if anybody can tell me if they’re male/female? i’ve been trying to see if i can see anybody pairing off but i mainly notice my koi’s sticking together and my black/blue marbles are little menaces lol.
