✨ Zebra Angelfish (Pterophyllum scalare)
Zebra Stripes • Classic Strain • Schooling Beauty
 
📋 The Zebra Angelfish is a classic strain of freshwater angelfish recognized for its bold vertical black stripes that resemble the pattern of a zebra. Typically, this variety displays 3–5 dark bands over a silver or golden body, though some may show more depending on genetics.
This hardy and captive bred strain is popular with aquarists because of its striking contrast, active schooling behavior, and compatibility with planted community aquariums. Zebras are particularly eye-catching when kept in groups, where their schooling patterns highlight their banded markings.
With its bold striping, peaceful nature, and ornamental value, the Zebra Angelfish remains a staple strain for hobbyists worldwide.
