🐟 Blue Zebra Angelfish (Pterophyllum scalare)
Freshwater Peaceful Community Fish • Genuine Metallic Blue Sheen Over Bold Vertical Zebra Striping • A Decades-Refined Selectively Bred Strain
 
📋 The Blue Zebra Angelfish combines the classic bold vertical striping of the Zebra Angelfish with a shimmering metallic blue sheen layered over the body — a combination that genuinely took decades of selective breeding to develop and stabilize.
Like other domesticated Pterophyllum scalare strains, this is a genuinely hardy, captive-bred fish that adapts well to community and planted aquariums, with the blue coloration genuinely deepening and intensifying as the fish matures, particularly with age and a well-balanced diet.
Naturally social as juveniles, this species does best kept in small groups of at least four to six while young, gradually pairing off and becoming more territorial as they reach breeding maturity — standard cichlid behavior shared across most angelfish varieties.
