Angelfish are one of the most striking centrepiece fish you can keep, with their tall finnage and graceful movement. Every angelfish in our range is well-conditioned and quarantined before it leaves the fish room, so you receive a healthy fish that settles in fast. We ship angelfish Australia-wide with care taken on every order.
Caring for Angelfish
Angelfish are tall-bodied cichlids, so they appreciate a deeper tank rather than a shallow one. They do best in soft to neutral water, with a pH around 6.0 to 7.5 and a temperature of 24 to 28 degrees. They are generally peaceful but can become territorial when pairing up to breed, and they will eat very small fish like newly hatched fry, so choose tankmates that are not small enough to be a snack.
Choosing Healthy Stock
A healthy angelfish is alert, holds its fins upright, and shows no clamping or white film on the body. Buying well-conditioned, quarantined stock makes a real difference to how well your fish establish. We focus on quality and condition rather than rushing fish out the door, which is the whole point of the welfare-first approach we built the business on.
Common Questions
How many angelfish should I keep together? A group of five or six young fish lets them pair off naturally, after which a bonded pair will often claim their own space.
Do angelfish need a heater? Yes. They are a warm-water species and stay healthiest with a stable temperature in the mid to high twenties.
