Received the Redback Amapa Angelfish in excellent condition. The red-orange coloration is vibrant and stands out in the tank. It’s very active and seems healthy after a few days. Easy to care for and fits well with my community fish.
Adam Payne –
The fish arrived quickly via UPS Next Day Air. The coloration is striking, especially from the forehead to the back. It’s peaceful and doesn’t stress the other fish. A great addition to my 55-gallon tank.
Stewart Hunter –
This is one of the most visually appealing angelfish I’ve ever seen. The red-orange hue is intense and natural. It’s active but not aggressive, and it’s adapted well to the tank environment.
