Detailed Description:

This is a rare and not commonly seen Angelfish, however it's needs are similar to those of the common Angelfish. Both fish inhabit the same bodies of water and require the same conditions.
Provide plants and rocky areas for cover. A soft substrate is recommended. Both this species and the common one have been seen schooling together. This is perfectly acceptable. The tank should be large enough to provide ample room for swimming and the tank should be high enough to accommodate their tall bodies. Frequent water changes and good filtration should be used to keep this fish in good health.

Feed a variety of foods. Flakes, pellets, frozen, and small live will all work well.

Breeding should be very similar to the common species.

Sexing is unknown.
