Despite the name, angelfish can be quite territorial, particularly when they pair up to breed in the aquarium. At that time, these fish do not act like angels. Gold Marble Angelfish are hardy and easy to care for.

Each order comes with four angelfish, which are generally marble, silver, gold, and gold marble.

Fish pictured here are representative only. If you are looking for a specific coloration, add a note to the order or simply allow us to choose one of our favorites for you!

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: In a group, two angelfish often pair off and claim part of the tank. If a pair forms and starts chasing the others, add more hiding places or rehome the extras.
