freshwater angelfish care

Freshwater angelfish are one of my favourite aquarium fish.These are extremely beautiful creature because of there shape and personality.Angelfish are laterally compressed with 2 long fins coming out from top and bottom.Is is quite elegant wathcing them swimming.Sometimes they even have vertical stripes their body.They are quite and calm by nature but sometimes get excited during feeding or spawning time.You may find them easily at your surrounding aquarium shop and they are quite cheap too.But don't get fooled by their size while they are in aquarium shop.They keep them in small size but they can grow upto size of 6 inches.They have long lifespan of over 10 years if you provide them good water and food.They are quite intelligent,because they know their feeding time.They are omnivorous and can eat tropical flakes, daphnia or brine shrimps,plant matter or sometimes their tank mates if they are small .Also don't put them with fin niping fishes such as tetras and barbs.You can put 1 adult fish per 5 gallons or more.They are available in wide variety.Growing angel fish may need 3-4 time of food per day.Change 25% of water per week.
