Black Angelfish

Black Angelfish - Deep Solid-Black Elegance for the Community Aquarium

The Black Angelfish is a striking solid colour form, cloaked from head to tail in a deep, velvety black that makes a dramatic statement against a planted background. Its tall, disc-shaped body and flowing fins carry the same graceful silhouette that has made Angelfish a freshwater icon for generations.

Black Angelfish are just as hardy and adaptable as other Angelfish colour forms, settling well into a community tank while gradually becoming more territorial and selective with company as they mature and pair off.

At N8 Aquatics, our fish are carefully raised and conditioned to ensure healthy stock suited to home aquariums.
