Black Veil Angel Angelfish
The Black Veil Angel is a strain of angelfish that is black in color with long flowing fins that are accentuated with a beautiful black lace.
It prefers 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.
For breeding, it is best to house multiple Black Veil Angels together until they pair off. Once a pair forms, a flat surface such as a piece of slate, a large plant leaf, or a flowerpot angled at about 30 degrees in a moderate water flow area should be provided. The female lays the eggs and the male follows to fertilize them. Eggs typically hatch after approximately three days.

The Black Veil Angel is stunning with its elegant black color and flowing fins. I kept it in a 30-gallon tank with soft water and plenty of plants. It swims gracefully and has been very active since arrival.

Beautiful fish with a unique appearance. I had a few in the tank together and they eventually paired up. The breeding setup worked well with a leaf at a 30-degree angle. Eggs hatched after three days.

Great addition to my aquarium. The fish are calm and enjoy the plants and driftwood. I noticed the black lace on their fins is very noticeable in good lighting.
