A peaceful fish that can be combined in any community tank
with other peaceful, medium to large sized fishes. Do not
combine with small fishes for these will likely
be eaten. Angels can be kept in a pair or in a group. For
pairing, raise a group of individuals from youth, and select
a pair that forms. The aquarium should be set up with large
plants, driftwood and roots for hiding places, but leave an
open area for swimming. The fish is a hardy fish recommended
for beginners. The height of the aquarium should be at
least 50 cm (20"). The fish is omnivorous. You should give them a great variety of live, frozen and dry food. Breeding is rather easy. In soft acidic water up to
1000 eggs are laid on a leave of a plant ore on any other
flat substrate. Both parents take care of the fry.
After about 60 hours the eggs hatch and another 5 days later
the young fishes are swimming free. The best thing to
feed the youngsters is newly hatched baby brine shrimp. |
