The Angel Veil Ram Cichlid is a stunning addition to my aquarium. Its flowing fins are mesmerizing and it stays active throughout the day. I’ve had it for six months and it’s thriving in a 75-gallon tank with proper filtration and water parameters.

Beautiful fish with a unique appearance. I did have to adjust my tank setup to handle its active behavior, but once I did, it became a centerpiece. I keep it alone to avoid conflicts with other fish.
Amanda Davies –
It looks impressive, but I noticed it gets territorial and attacks smaller fish in the tank. I now keep it in a separate tank with no other cichlids. Water conditions are stable, and it seems healthy overall.
