Angel Fish – Koi
Size: 8.5cm Show
Freshwater angelfish need tropical freshwater with a slow-moving current. The tank temperature should be in the range of 75F to 84F, with a slightly acidic pH of 6.5 – 7.5, and on the softer side, around 5 – 12 dH.
Angelfish are pretty flexible when it comes to how their tank should be ‘decorated’. These lovely fish can be kept in bare tanks, community tanks, or planted tanks. Adding a few easy to care for aquatic plants will help consume toxic waste compounds and make your aquarium more beautiful and natural looking for both you and your fish. Java ferns are easy to care for and do well in most freshwater aquariums. If you are more skilled at keeping aquatic plants, you may choose other suitable species.

The angelfish arrived healthy and active. I set up a 20-gallon tank with Java fern and a slow current. They adapted quickly and are now swimming calmly. The size is as described, and they look beautiful in the tank.
Mary Gill –
I kept them in a community tank with other peaceful fish. The water parameters stayed stable after a week. They don’t seem to stress easily and enjoy the plants I added.

The fish are vibrant and active. I maintained the temperature between 78-80F and kept pH around 7.0. The tank looks more natural now with the plants, and the fish seem happy.
