Cobalt Blue Angelfish

The Cobalt Blue Angelfish has an overall silvery color with a metallic light blue sheen that can deepen with age, maturity and a proper diet.

Angelfish are generally peaceful, although - like other cichlids - they can become territorial if there is inadequate space for them to live happily. A breeding couple may also become particularly nippy when protecting eggs or young. Be sure your tank is large enough to allow each fish to have their own space, and also be sure the tank is tall enough to allow the fish space for their longer finnage. The recommended tank size of 30 gallons is for a single fish or pair; increase the tank size for a community tank including angelfish.

Angels aren't too fussy when it comes to diet. Feed them a varied diet such as flake or small pellets/granules with a meaty frozen food supplement such as brine shrimp or bloodworms.

Angelfish have been successfully bred often in home aquariums. The eggs are laid on flat, fairly vertical surfaces like broad plant leaves, flat rockwork or the sides of the aquarium.

Adult angelfish form breeding pairs and the pair will defend their territory from other angelfish and tankmates. Gender in angelfish, even in adults, is fairly difficult to determine and pairs will usually form naturally from a group of juveniles.
