The Gold Longfin Angelfish (scientific name: Pterophyllum scalare) stands as a mesmerizing focal point in any aquarium, boasting exquisite gold, black, and white coloration. While originally hailing from various river systems in Northern South America, today's Gold Longfin Angelfish available in the market are predominantly bred in tanks, each showcasing unique patterns that enhance the visual appeal of your aquatic environment.
Distinguished by their tall, slender bodies and distinctive long, flowing fins, Gold Longfin Angelfish can reach impressive sizes of up to 6 inches in length and 8 inches in height. When creating an aquarium habitat for them, it's essential to consider their size requirements. While a 30-gallon tank with adequate height suits a single specimen, larger tanks are preferable for groups or cohabitation with other fish.
In their natural habitat, Gold Longfin Angelfish thrive in tranquil, slow-moving waters abundant in vegetation, often seeking out dimly lit areas. Replicating these conditions in the aquarium setting contributes to their overall well-being. Additionally, avoid using sharp-edged substrates on the tank bottom to accommodate their foraging behavior.
Despite being relatively aggressive, Gold Longfin Angelfish can peacefully coexist with large shrimp and snails given ample space in the aquarium. However, they may pose a threat to smaller fish and invertebrates. Conversely, they may also be susceptible to fin-nipping from certain tankmates.
