The Silver Angelfish arrived healthy and active. It swims gracefully in the tank and has adapted well to the water conditions. The long fins add a beautiful touch to the aquarium. Easy to care for and very peaceful.
Jessica Hamilton –
Great addition to my community tank. The fish is active but not aggressive. It stays in the middle of the tank and looks elegant with its flowing fins. Needs a well-planted environment to thrive.

I’ve had this fish for three months now and it’s still vibrant and active. The silver color shines well under soft lighting. It pairs nicely with other non-aggressive fish.
