Tri Colour Koi Angelfish - Grade A

Tri-Colour Koi Angelfish – Grade A – Pterophyllum scalare

The Tri-Colour Koi Angelfish is a striking freshwater angelfish with a unique blend of red, black, and white patterns, reminiscent of ornamental koi. Grade A individuals display clean, well-defined coloration and balanced body shape, making them highly sought after by collectors and aquascapers alike. Their tall, laterally compressed bodies and elegant fins create a graceful presence in the mid-to-top levels of a community aquarium.

This species is moderate in care, suitable for aquarists with some experience maintaining stable water parameters and compatible community setups. Angelfish are semi-aggressive, especially during breeding, but they are generally peaceful in well-planted tanks with adequate space.

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:

Tri-Colour Koi Angelfish thrive in planted community aquariums with peaceful to moderately active fish. Avoid very small species that could be viewed as prey, as well as overly aggressive tankmates. Provide tall plants, driftwood, and vertical structures to mimic their natural environment and reduce territorial disputes.

They may form monogamous pairs, and during spawning, males will defend a chosen area. Careful monitoring and space help ensure a harmonious tank.

A visually stunning, Grade A angelfish with koi-like coloration—perfect for midwater focal points in planted freshwater aquariums.
