Angel- Blushing Albino M/L
Blushing Albino Angelfish, also known simply as Albino Angelfish, are a variety of the popular freshwater angelfish (Pterophyllum scalare) with a distinctive appearance. Their name "blushing" refers to the pinkish or reddish coloration they can exhibit. Here are care guidelines for Blushing Albino Angelfish:
Tank Size:
A tank of at least 20-30 gallons is suitable for a small group of Albino Angelfish. They are relatively small but appreciate swimming space.
Water Parameters:
Maintain stable water parameters with a temperature range of 75-82°F (24-28°C).
Keep the pH level between 6.5 and 7.0, which is slightly acidic, and the hardness (GH) between 3 and 8 dGH.
Tank Setup:
Provide a well-planted tank with live or artificial plants, rocks, driftwood, and other decor. The angelfish appreciate places to hide and explore.
Use a fine substrate, as angelfish like to sift through it in search of food.
Compatibility:
Albino Angelfish are generally peaceful but can be territorial during breeding. Be cautious when keeping them with other angelfish and choose compatible tankmates.
Avoid aggressive or nippy species, as angelfish have long, flowing fins that can make them targets for fin nipping.
Diet:
Albino Angelfish are omnivorous. Provide a balanced diet that includes high-quality flake or pellet foods, live or frozen foods such as brine shrimp, bloodworms, daphnia, and vegetable matter.
Offer a variety of foods to ensure they receive proper nutrition.
Breeding:
Albino Angelfish are known for their interesting courtship and breeding behaviors. They may lay eggs on flat surfaces, such as plant leaves or smooth rocks.
If you intend to breed them, provide suitable surfaces for them to lay their eggs, and be prepared to care for the fry once they hatch.
Observation:
Keep a close eye on the health and behavior of your Albino Angelfish and look for signs of stress, illness, or abnormal behavior.
Albino Angelfish are an attractive and popular addition to freshwater community aquariums. Their unique appearance and graceful behavior make them a captivating species to keep. Providing them with suitable tank conditions and a varied diet will help ensure their well-being in your aquarium. As with any fish species, maintaining stable water conditions and offering proper nutrition are crucial for their health and longevity.
