“Angels”… that is the name of my new pet angelfishes… After having so many pet since childhood, I really don’t want to stop having another one. I usually have a pet but this is my first time to have Angelfishes. I have some variety of Gold fishes , Black Mollies and Silver Mollies, Guppy, Koi, and Fighter Fish also known as Siamese Fighting Fish or Betta, which is my favorite.

Angelfish or Pterophyllum is type of freshwater aquarium fish originated in South Africa. Their bodies are compressed, round and elongated which is also triangular in shape allowing them to swim faster and easily hide among plants especially on a vertical surface. Additional protection for them are their natural striped pattern allowing them a perfect disguise. My types of Angelfish are Marble Angelfish, which is silver with black stripes and Silver Angelfish.

Angelfishes can be easily grown together with other fish. They are peaceful kind of fish but I will not suggest putting them together with other aggressive fish (like the Siamese Fighting Fish) because of fin nipping. Other than than Angelfish is a great pet. Feeding Angelfishes is not hard. Flakes is a perfect food for them since they can easily dissolve it. And believe me, these fish really love to eat. Just don’t overfeed them for they will still eat anything you feed them

I always enjoy watching them, swimming in a different pattern compared to others. When scared or provoked they do this fast quick movements and can hide easily.

I love my new angels :P
