Blue Smokey Pinoy Angelfish

Remarks:  Blue smokey pinoy angelfish are a beautiful and unique color variant of angelfish. The back half of their bodies have a dark gray or black coloration that fades and disperses toward the middle of the body. The front half is where their color really starts to pop with a blue iridescence that stands out beautifully against both red and green plants. It should be noted most young blue smokey pinoy angelfish will appear silver rather than blue as that coloration usually develops with age. 

  Angelfish are easy-going cichlids that do well in almost any community tank. Captive bred specimens can tolerate a wide range of pH values and are typically peaceful enough to be kept with most tetras and other peaceful South American cichlids. Due to their long ventral fins, we do not recommend keeping them with very nippy fish such as tiger barbs or zebra danios.

  Breeding Angelfish can often be achieved by giving them a vertical, flat surface to spawn on, such as a leaf of an Amazon Sword or a piece of slate leaning against the wall. Fry will be cared for until a few weeks after they are free swimming, though you can remove the fry or eggs and hatch them artificially if you wish. It is usually best to isolate breeding pairs in their own tank when spawning as they can become territorial.
