Platinum Angelfish
Platinum Angelfish are a striking variety of freshwater angelfish (Pterophyllum) known for their shimmering, metallic white or silver appearance. Their sleek, almost pearlescent bodies, paired with their signature triangular shape and long, flowing fins, give them an elegant and eye-catching look.
Like other angelfish, Platinum Angelfish originate from the slow-moving waters of the Amazon Basin and prefer aquariums with plenty of vertical space and plants for hiding. They thrive in warm water temperatures between 75-82°F (24-28°C) and are relatively peaceful but may show territorial behavior, particularly during breeding.
A balanced diet of flakes, pellets, and occasional live or frozen foods helps maintain their health and brilliant coloration. Platinum Angelfish can live up to 10 years with proper care, making them a popular choice for hobbyists seeking a sleek, luminous addition to their aquarium.
