  • do you put in anything when after the water changes

  • Only chlorine remover.

  • i thought wild angels have red eyes?

  • Good question! I looked around and read a little more about it and the short answer is no. Red or pink eyes is a characteristic of albinos. The altum, or wild angefish, in the last part of the video has not been hybridised (into albinos or varieties) like the common angelfish and so will very seldom have red eyes!

  • Haha Thats not an altum and I would'nt can altums moderately difficult.

  • Really... well what is it and what would you call it?

  • A 35 gallon aquarium would barely house one anglefish comfortably. They get along with non-fin nipping fish, gouramis, platies, and tetras would probably be okay.

  • I dont think the red eyes, or a lack of, are an indication of altum vs. common angelfish. The altums will have the black stripes and are much more difficult to find. The 'Altum' in the video, I think, is a cross or look-alike to an altum even though it has similar coloring.

  • @drjungle1 So, almost all altums do not have red eyes, and common angelfish do?

    I've seen them at the petstore and they call them commons, but I just want to be sure so I don't get an altum.

  • is a 35 aquarium ok for them i could all ways make my own aquarium know that i am in OTTAWA

  • is a 35 aquarium ok for them

  • are they ok with all gouramis dwarf female rainbow fish platy giant neon tetras cleaning fish dwraf butterfly sicklids

  • @Pop12646Okami my opiline gourami is the top fish of my hole tank if one fish get to high and think its fucking king shit my gourami kick its fins and puts them in place

  • My angelfish gets along well with my fantail for some reason. The platy used to be a big bully but when she tried to nip at the angelfish, the angelfish attacked her and now she's not a bully anymore. :)

  • People, angelfish go into 30 gal or more tanks they might start small but they grow alot

  • Angelfish are bad with smaller fish that it could probably eat
