Super Red Devil Longfin Angelfish (Pterophyllum scalare)
Quarantined freshwater angelfish for taller planted aquariums and carefully selected community setups.
The Super Red Devil Longfin Angelfish combines rich red-orange colour selection with extended finnage for a more dramatic display. This premium domestic angelfish is best appreciated as a slow-gliding focal fish in a tall, carefully stocked aquarium.
Why This Angelfish Stands Out
- Selected for stronger red-orange colour intensity
- Longfin form creates a flowing, high-profile silhouette
- Premium display angelfish for planted freshwater aquariums
Aquarium Setup & Behaviour
A tall, moderately sized aquarium with dense plant coverage is ideal. This angelfish prefers calm water conditions and is most active during the day. It should be kept with compatible, non-aggressive fish in a well-maintained environment. Avoid housing with small, fast-moving species that may nip at its fins.

The red colour is vibrant and stands out in my tall planted tank. The long fins move beautifully, adding a dynamic touch. I’ve kept it for six months with no issues. Only recommend with a stable setup and compatible tank mates.

Great display fish with a strong red hue. The finnage is impressive and adds visual interest. I’m careful about tank mates and avoid anything too active. Water parameters are stable, and it’s peaceful during the day.

This angelfish is a highlight in my aquarium. The colour intensity is better than other red angelfish I’ve seen. It glides slowly through the plants and looks natural. I appreciate the quarantine process—no stress or health issues.
