Why this livestock?
Striped (Blue Sapphire) Angelfish are one of the most eye-catching modern varieties of Pterophyllum scalare. Their metallic blue sheen combined with bold vertical striping creates a spectacular display under aquarium lighting.
Available in both Standard and Veiltail forms, these juvenile Angelfish will continue developing richer colour, taller bodies and longer flowing fins as they mature. Each fish has its own unique pattern, making every specimen truly individual.
Whether you're creating a peaceful planted aquarium or an Amazon biotope, Blue Sapphire Angelfish make an elegant feature fish that quickly becomes the focal point of the aquarium.
Common mistakes
- Keeping Angelfish in aquariums that are too small.
- Housing them with aggressive or fin-nipping fish.
- Choosing tank mates small enough to become food.
- Expecting juvenile Angelfish to immediately form breeding pairs.
- Neglecting regular water changes and stable water quality.
Care made simple
- Temperature: 24–28°C
- pH: 6.5–7.8
- Diet: Omnivore – quality pellets, flakes, frozen foods and live foods
- Water: Clean, stable freshwater with regular water changes
- Setup: Tall planted aquarium with driftwood, plants and open swimming space
Pair with
- Premium Tropical Fish Pellets
- Frozen Bloodworms
- Frozen Brine Shrimp
- Amazon Sword Plants
- Natural Driftwood & Botanicals
Blue Sapphire Angelfish display their best colours under full-spectrum aquarium lighting and against a dark background. Veiltail varieties require peaceful tank mates to prevent fin damage, while Standard fin varieties are a little more forgiving.
FAQ
What's the difference between Veiltail and Standard Angelfish?
Veiltail Angelfish have longer, more flowing fins that create an elegant appearance, while Standard Angelfish have shorter fins and are generally a little hardier when kept with community fish.
Will the blue colour become stronger as they grow?
Yes. As Blue Sapphire Angelfish mature, their metallic blue iridescence and striped pattern often become more vibrant, particularly when kept in excellent water conditions and fed a varied diet.
How large will they grow?
Adult Angelfish typically reach 10–15cm in body size and can exceed 20cm in total height once their fins are fully developed.
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. Every Blue Sapphire Angelfish has unique striping, colour intensity and finnage. Photos are representative only, and we'll carefully select a healthy, high-quality specimen from our current stock.
