Platinum Veil-Tail Angelfish
Platinum veil-tail angelfish are incredibly elegant with their shimmering, platinum white scales and fins. They lack any markings and really stand out in a tank with their stark coloration.
These fish also have the veil-tail gene which results in elegant, elongated fins. These longer fins are beautiful but can make these angels more of a target for fin-nippers so extra care should be taken when choosing tank mates.
Angelfish are easy-going cichlids that do well in almost any community tank. Captive bred specimens can tolerate a wide range of pH values and are typically peaceful enough to be kept with most tetras and other peaceful South American cichlids. Due to their long ventral fins, we do not recommend keeping them with very nippy fish.

The fish is stunning with its pure white color and flowing fins. It’s peaceful and fits well in my 55-gallon tank with neon tetras and dwarf corydoras. I’ve had it for three months and it’s very active and healthy.
Anne Butler –
Beautiful fish with a very elegant appearance. I noticed a few fin nipping incidents from a small barb, so I removed it. Now it’s thriving with other calm fish. Good choice for a decorative centerpiece.

Platinum coloration is absolutely breathtaking. The fins move gracefully and add a lot of visual interest. I’ve kept it with several peaceful species and it’s never shown aggression.
