Assorted Veil Angel (Pterophyllum Scalare)

Assorted Veil Angels are an assortment of strains of the long finned varieties, and are available in an adult size. Assorted Veil Angel (Pterophyllum Scalare) fish may include marble veils, gold veils, or silver veils, and will add drama and brilliance to the passive community aquarium. These fish prefer a well-planted tank of at least 30 gallons with soft, slightly acidic water. Rocks and driftwood can be added to the aquarium, but leave plenty of space for swimming. It is best, when trying to breed the Angelfish, to house a number of angels in the same aquarium until they pair off. After a pair has developed, a flat surface needs to be provided where the eggs can be laid. A piece of slate, a large plant leaf, or even a flowerpot should be positioned at an angle of about 30 degrees in an area of moderate water flow. The female will lay the eggs and the male will follow behind to fertilize. After approximately three days, the eggs will hatch and the fry will emerge. Feed the fry newly hatched brine shrimp until large enough to accept crushed flake food.
