Size
The Blue Diamond Angelfish (Pterophyllum scalare) is a stunning, aquarium-bred freshwater fish featuring a solid, shimmering blue, metallic coloration. These hardy, tank-raised, and peaceful cichlids grow to about 6 inches long and 8 inches tall, making them ideal centerpieces for tall, planted aquariums.
Key Characteristics & Care
  • Appearance: Intense iridescent blue to teal, sometimes referred to as "Platinum Blue".
  • Size: They can grow to 6 inches in length and 8+ inches in height.
  • Behavior: Generally peaceful but can become territorial, especially when breeding.
  • Diet: Omnivore; thrives on a diet of high-quality flakes, pellets, frozen, and live foods like brine shrimp.
  • Aquarium Setup: Prefers tanks with ample vertical space, at least 18-24 inches deep. They enjoy planted tanks with driftwood.
  • Water Parameters: Temperature: 76–82°F (24–28°C), pH 6.5–7.5.
