Jet Black Angel

Jet Black Angel: Pterophyllum scalare was one of the first species kept in captivity and is still one of the most prevalent on the market today. Because of its popularity, there have been numerous cross-breedings, resulting in a wide range of cultivars.

Jet Black Angel fish are silver with dark vertical stripes in the wild, however, there are several kinds available in the market, including Black, Gold, Marble, and others.

Jet Black Angel is a diamond-shaped fish that has a spherical, laterally compressed body, triangular dorsal and anal fins, and can grow to be 6 inches long and 8 inches tall. 

A tall aquarium is required to keep these fish due to their height; a 30-gallon tank is a bare minimum; however, if there is more than one individual, the tank must be larger. Temperatures should range from 76 F to 86 F, and the pH should be between 6.0 and 7.4. The tank should also feature rocks, hardy plants, an open swimming space, and dim lighting.
