The bold, solid white body with pink and blue highlights makes these exceptional additions to a community fish tank. Albino angelfish lack dark pigments and reflect the colors of surrounding light. The eye pupils are pink, as in all other types of albino animals.

Care Guide
Tank setup: Give them tall plants or driftwood, a heater and a gentle filter.
Feeding: Feed a quality flake or small pellet once or twice a day, only as much as they eat in a couple of minutes. They also enjoy frozen foods like bloodworms and brine shrimp.
Tankmates: Choose peaceful fish too large to swallow, such as larger tetras, corydoras, plecos, rams, gouramis and peaceful barbs. Avoid fin-nippers like tiger barbs, and small fish like neon tetras that adult angels may eat.
Breeding: Angelfish pair off and lay eggs on flat surfaces like broad leaves or slate. A breeding pair can become territorial, so give them room and places for other fish to retreat.
Good to know: Albino angelfish have light-sensitive eyes, so moderate lighting and a few floating plants help keep them comfortable.
