Why this livestock?
Marble Angelfish are one of the most popular colour varieties of Pterophyllum scalare, admired for their dramatic marbled patterns of black, silver and white. No two fish are identical, making each one a unique addition to your aquarium.
These 4–5cm juveniles have plenty of growing ahead of them and will gradually develop taller fins, stronger colours and more defined marbling as they mature.
With their graceful swimming behaviour and inquisitive personality, Marble Angelfish make an excellent feature fish for planted aquariums and peaceful community setups.
Common mistakes
- Keeping Angelfish in aquariums that are too small.
- Housing them with fin-nipping species.
- Introducing them to tanks with poor water quality.
- Expecting juvenile fish to immediately form breeding pairs.
- Overcrowding the aquarium as the fish mature.
Care made simple
- Temperature: 24–28°C
- pH: 6.5–7.8
- Diet: Omnivore – quality pellets, flakes, frozen and live foods

Marble Angelfish often become even more striking as they mature, with their marbling becoming richer and more defined. Raising juveniles lets you enjoy watching their colours and personalities develop over time.
FAQ
How large do Marble Angelfish grow?
Adult Marble Angelfish typically reach around 10–15cm in body length and can exceed 20cm in total height when their fins are fully developed.
Are Marble Angelfish suitable for beginners?
Yes. They are a hardy and rewarding species provided they are kept in a suitably sized aquarium with stable water quality.
Can Marble Angelfish live in a community aquarium?
Yes. They are best kept with peaceful fish of similar size. Avoid fin-nipping species and very small fish that may be viewed as food once the Angelfish mature.
Why do livestock prices sometimes change?
Unlike manufactured products, fish and shrimp continue to grow and develop over time. Their value changes as they increase in size, develop colour, or become breeding pairs.
Our prices are based on the current size, quality and availability of each specimen. While pricing often remains stable for around 3–4 months, it may be updated at any time to reflect these changes.
We always aim to offer healthy, high-quality livestock at fair and competitive prices.
Will I receive the exact fish pictured?
No. Photos are representative only. Every Marble Angelfish has unique markings and colour patterns, so your fish may differ slightly from the images shown.
