Panda Angelfish (Pterophyllum scalare)

Remarks: Panda Angelfish (Pterophyllum scalare) are easy-going cichlids that do well in almost any community tank. They can tolerate a wide range of pH values and are peaceful enough to be kept with most tetras and other peaceful cichlids. Breeding Angelfish can often be achieved by giving them a vertical, flat surface to spawn on, such as a leaf of an Amazon Sword or a piece of slate leaning against the wall. Fry will be cared for until a few weeks after they are free swimming, though you can remove the fry or eggs and hatch them artificially if you wish.  Scientific Name: Pterophyllum scalare Common Name: Panda Angelfish Max Size: 6" pH: 6.0-7.5 Hardness: Soft Temperature: 70-82° Aggressiveness: Semi-Aggressive Region of Origin: South America Captive Bred or Wild: Captive Bred Diet: Flake or pellet, frozen and live food Compatibility: Medium schooling fish, similarly sized South American cichlids, catfish, plecos Tank Mate Options: Black Angelfish Red Shoulder Severum Gold Severum
