Albino Gold Head Angelfish
Pterophyllum scalare is one of the most popular tropical aquarium fish and has been kept by hobbyists for nearly 100 years. As such, there are many available morphs from solid white to solid black and everything in between. Angelfish make good community fish with mid to large sized tankmates, although their large adult size means especially small species such as cardinal tetras are generally best avoided.

The Albino Gold Head Angelfish is a striking addition to my aquarium. It has a beautiful golden head and stays active throughout the day. I’ve kept it with larger tetras and Corydoras, and it gets along well with them. The fish is hardy and adapts quickly to the tank environment.

This angelfish looks stunning in the tank. It’s more active than I expected and seems to enjoy the surface movement. I did have to adjust the tank size to accommodate its growth, but it’s a worthwhile investment for any tropical setup.

I’ve had this fish for three months now and it’s thriving. The coloration is vibrant, and it’s peaceful but still shows curiosity. I avoid keeping it with tiny fish, but it’s a great fit for a mid-sized community tank.
