🐟 Silver Angelfish (Pterophyllum scalare)
Freshwater Peaceful Community Fish • Genuine Wild-Type Foundation Strain • Shimmering Silver Body With Vertical Stripes
 
📋 The Silver Angelfish is genuinely the wild-type form of the classic freshwater angelfish — the very foundation from which the many fancy color strains we carry have been selectively developed. Its tall, triangular body, elegant trailing fins, and shimmering silver coloration with faint vertical stripes make it one of the most iconic freshwater aquarium fish in the hobby.
This is a genuinely hardy, adaptable fish, thriving in community and planted aquariums, and displaying genuinely fascinating social behavior when kept in small groups, including hierarchical group dynamics.
This species forms genuine monogamous breeding pairs, and will readily spawn on vertical surfaces like broad leaves or aquarium glass when conditions are right.
