Marble Veil Tail Angelfish

Beautiful long tail (veil) angelfish are remarkable in the aquarium. Unless provoked, they generally glide around the middle zone of the fish tank. Marble veils sometimes have a little gold on the body but are primarily black and white.

Quick Facts

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: Long veil fins are easy targets for fin-nippers and can get infected in dirty water, so keep the water clean and skip nippy tankmates.
