Description
The Tri-colour Angelfish (Pterophyllum scalare), also known as the Koi Angelfish, is a stunning addition to tropical aquariums, prized for its striking coloration and graceful appearance. This variety of angelfish is distinguished by its iridescent silver body adorned with black vertical stripes and vibrant orange markings on the fins.
Creating an ideal habitat for Tri-color Angelfish involves providing a spacious aquarium with ample swimming room. They appreciate a planted tank with driftwood and rocks, which mimics their natural Amazonian habitat. Keep the temperature between 75-82°F (24-28°C) and maintain a slightly acidic to neutral pH level to promote their well-being.
Tri-color Angelfish are omnivores and should be fed a varied diet consisting of high-quality flake or pellet food supplemented with live or frozen treats like bloodworms, brine shrimp, and chopped vegetables. Providing a balanced diet is essential for their health and coloration.
Regular water changes and efficient filtration are crucial to maintain optimal water quality for Tri-color Angelfish. They are generally peaceful but may become territorial during breeding. Keeping them in a group of three or more can help distribute aggression.
With proper care and a suitable environment, Tri-colour Angelfish will thrive and showcase their vibrant colours, adding beauty and elegance to your tropical aquarium.
