Marble Angelfish

Angelfish, including Marble Angelfish, have a distinctive triangular shape with elongated fins. They can grow to be about 6 inches (15 cm) tall, making them a medium-sized fish in the angelfish family.

Marble Angelfish are generally peaceful but can display territorial behavior, particularly during breeding or when establishing their territories. They are known for their elegant swimming style and can be kept in community aquariums with compatible tankmates. However, aggression can be displayed towards other angelfish or similar-looking species.

Marble Angelfish thrive in well-maintained aquariums with stable water parameters. They prefer slightly acidic to neutral water conditions, with a pH range of 6.0 to 7.5. The temperature should be maintained between 75-82°F (24-28°C). Regular water changes are important to maintain water quality.

Marble Angelfish are omnivorous and have a diverse diet. They should be provided with a balanced diet that includes high-quality flake or pellet food designed for omnivorous fish. Supplementing their diet with live or frozen foods like brine shrimp, bloodworms, or daphnia can enhance their nutrition and overall health.

When selecting tankmates for Marble Angelfish, it’s important to consider compatible species. Avoid keeping them with fin-nipping or aggressive fish that may harm or stress them. They are generally compatible with peaceful community fish that occupy different areas of the tank.

Marble Angelfish, like other angelfish, can breed in captivity. They are known to form monogamous pairs and exhibit interesting courtship and breeding behaviors. To encourage breeding, provide them with a spacious tank, vertical breeding surfaces like broad leaves or slate, slightly warmer temperatures, and frequent water changes.
