Description
The Platinum Angelfish is a variant of Angelfish that has a beautiful platinum sheen. They are derived from the Golden Angelfish but with a recessive gene that produced the platinum outcome. Platinum Angelfish are not found in the wild and is selectively bred and farm-raised for the aquarium hobby.
This fish will do well in a large planted tank set-up. They are a little aggressive towards each other when in a school until a dominant male is established. They can also be kept as a single fish and in pairs of male and female. Avoid mixing Angelfish with fin nipping species of fish as their long fins can be a target.
They are omnivorous and should be fed a variety of meaty and plant-based foods. Commercially available fish food can also be given. Live and frozen food like bloodworms, and Artemia can also be given.
NOTE: When fully grown, they are capable of eating other small fish like Chilli Rasboras. If you plan on keeping them with fin-nipping species like Tiger Barbs, make sure the fin-nippers are in schools.
