Comments
Breed localy in Montreal. They are very healthy on a steedy flake diet while eating frozen food every second day. The temperature of the aqurium should be anywhere between 76-83 degrees farenheight. Angelfish are one of the hardiest fish and it is suggested to add angelfish into the aquarium as the last fish since they can be very territorial. Angelfish are omnivorous but prefer to eat a steady diet of worms, tubifex, bloodworms. When young it is recommended only to use tubifex worms since bloodworms are harder to digest.
