What We Love About This Fish:

• Flowing Fins: Their long, veil-like fins create a captivating display as they glide through the water.

• Varied Patterns: A mix of marbled, striped, and solid colors ensures each fish is one of a kind.

• Peaceful Presence: Known for their calm and inquisitive nature.

• Community Compatibility: Excellent for peaceful aquariums with similarly sized tank mates.

Natural Habitat:

The Assorted Veil Angelfish originates from the slow-moving rivers and floodplains of the Amazon Basin in South America. These waters are often shaded by dense vegetation, providing a natural habitat rich in driftwood, submerged roots, and soft, sandy substrates.

Aquascaping:

• Plants: Amazon Swords, Vallisneria, and Java Fern create a natural, lush environment.

• Hardscape: Incorporate driftwood and smooth stones to mimic their native habitat.

• Botanicals: Add Indian Almond Leaves or alder cones to release beneficial tannins and enrich their surroundings.

Diet and Feeding:

Veil Angelfish are omnivorous and thrive on a varied diet. Feed them high-quality flakes, pellets, and occasional treats like bloodworms, brine shrimp, and daphnia to enhance their health and coloration.

Tank Mates and Compatibility:

Veil Angelfish do well with peaceful tank mates of similar size, such as:

• Corydoras Catfish

• Larger Tetras (e.g., Cardinal Tetras, Black Skirt Tetras)

• Dwarf Gouramis

• Bristlenose Plecos Avoid housing them with aggressive or fin-nipping species.

Not Shrimp Safe:

Angelfish may prey on shrimp, especially juveniles or smaller species. Consider larger, more robust shrimp or provide plenty of hiding spaces.

Breeding:

Veil Angelfish are relatively easy to breed in a well-maintained aquarium. They prefer vertical surfaces for spawning, such as broad plant leaves or flat decorations. Ensure the pair is well-fed and in a stress-free environment for successful breeding.
