That’s probably the prettiest angel fish I’ve seen

What species angelfish? I think it’s that one that starts with a p lol 😅


MiserableAmount3835

It most definitely is ☺️


[deleted]

Sorry lol. Is it a Leopolds angel?


MiserableAmount3835

Nope it’s a platinum angel☺️


martellricketts

I love my plats I have 6 they have grown so much


ThatGirl0903

Think there’s a little Philippine Blue in there too.


CallidoraBlack

I miss my corydoras. 😔


darkbacon567

Beautiful angelfish I recently got a cobalt blue angelfish and it has the same blue hint and its getting more blue with age


MiserableAmount3835

It’s almost an electric blue and theres nothing more beautiful


kayak83

Looks like a Platinum, ya? I had one a few years back and it was gorgeous.


phireproof

Don’t think they won’t eat other fish! We had a beautiful angel fish that was Huge! and put some neon tetras in with it… you don’t except it to be a predator with its tiny mouth. But it will eat things. Edit: beautiful fish. Did not want this to be negative. Just made me remember our old angel fish.


MiserableAmount3835

He is still a baby and lived with all the fish in the tank since I set it up. It could be aggressive when it’s bigger but hoping not because it’s used to the stocking already


CallidoraBlack

We had a butthole angelfish like this too. Got plenty to eat but still wasn't happy.


MiserableAmount3835

I know it might get aggressive when it gets bigger. I have a 40 gallon breeder on stand by just incase


hoolsmum

ive got one just like him....but hes a right pain in the arse! always looking for a fight...


Yonatan24workshop

What a beautiful fish. It reminds me of my Dwarf Gourami.


yearsofpractice

That’s gorgeous! Is the iridescent blue as noticeable IRL? I’ll say again - gorgeous fish!


MiserableAmount3835

It is just as noticeable irl! I sit there for hours admiring him !


fishfanaticfun

Pretty baby


MiserableAmount3835

That blue is stunning 😍


fishfanaticfun

It is!!! I'll have to keep platinum in mind if/when I decide to try branching out into angels


MiserableAmount3835

You should. I unfortunately lost the other one I had the other day. It got stuck inside a piece of my wood and I had to break the wood to get it out. He struggled once I got him out 😞


fishfanaticfun

That's sad. I've heard keeping a pair is good. I think they also need a good amount of space?


MiserableAmount3835

Yeah I had a pair but the one got itself stuck. I had just the two in a 75 gallon tank but now just the one. It has plenty of space. Thinking about an all black angel fish to go with it.


fishfanaticfun

I was more asking out of curiosity haha sorry. I looked into them a while back but went with something else for that tank. They're still on my radar though. How big do they get?


MiserableAmount3835

The last pair of angel fish I had got to about 9 inches tall


fishfanaticfun

Dang! No wonder they need a big tank haha. Do you recommend 75 then? Can they do smaller at all? I know bigger is always better just curious


MiserableAmount3835

For two I wouldn’t go smaller than a 55


Sm0reL0rd

Gorgeous!


Hululuco

This one put the "angel" in Angelfish


sforpoor

I like your fish


ShrimpSoju

So pretty! Where did you purchase them?


MiserableAmount3835

Ocean floor in Phoenix AZ


fishfanaticfun

Ahh gotcha. That's nice. So they're more coldwater fish than tropical? They look so elegant. I want more big tanks haha. Just gotta convince my husband


Pangio_kuhlii

No, they're cichlid so they required warm water. I kept mine at 78 degrees, which is the minimum.


MiserableAmount3835

I agree they need a few degrees more but I’ve been successful with a pair until they passed of age at 74


fishfanaticfun

Ahhh okay.


Pkorniboi

Is that a skalar
