The Green Ghost Pinoy Angelfish is a striking variant of the classic angelfish, featuring a translucent greenish body with subtle metallic highlights and long, flowing fins. Its ethereal coloration gives it a “ghostly” appearance that shimmers under aquarium lighting, making it a captivating centerpiece in planted or community freshwater setups.
This species is moderate in care, requiring stable water conditions and a calm environment. Like other angelfish, it is semi-aggressive, particularly when establishing territory or breeding, but generally coexists well with compatible mid- to upper-level community fish.
Care Requirements:
-
Tank Size: Minimum 30 gallons (40+ gallons preferred for pairs or groups)
-
Temperature: 24–28 °C
-
pH: 6.5–7.5
-
Water Hardness: Soft to moderately hard
-
Temperament: Semi-aggressive (territorial during breeding)
-
Diet: Omnivore — high-quality flakes, pellets, frozen foods, and occasional live foods
Behavior & Compatibility:
Green Ghost Pinoy Angelfish thrive in planted community aquariums with peaceful or moderately active fish of similar size. Avoid very small species that may be stressed or harassed. Including tall plants, driftwood, and vertical structures provides hiding spots and visual boundaries to reduce territorial aggression.
They may form monogamous pairs, and giving them designated territories encourages natural behaviors and successful breeding.
A visually striking angelfish with ghostly green tones and flowing fins—ideal for adding elegance and midwater activity to planted freshwater aquariums.
