This awesome angelfish variety develops a striking pearlescent blue/turquoise sheen as it matures!
The Belem Sky Blue Angelfish (Pterophyllum scalare) is a very uncommon and in-demand color variant of the classic angelfish. Juveniles often do not display the blue/turquoise coloration, but will develop it generously as they grow and approach maturity. This shoaling cichlid is relatively peaceful compared to other members of the cichlid family. It also has a very thin, tall body unlike most other cichlids.

The coloration is beautiful, though the blue isn’t as intense as expected in the first few weeks. It’s developing well and seems healthy. Would recommend to anyone looking for a unique angelfish.
