Care Information:

Diet:
Veil Angelfish are omnivores and thrive on a varied diet. At Pet Paradise, we feed them high-quality tropical flakes and pellets, supplemented with frozen or live foods such as bloodworms, brine shrimp, mysis shrimp, and daphnia for optimal health and coloration.

Housing:
A minimum 30-gallon aquarium is recommended for a single adult, with larger aquariums preferred for pairs or community setups. Provide plenty of open swimming space along with tall plants, driftwood, and decorations for security.

Water Parameters:
Maintain water temperatures between 76–82°F with a pH of 6.8–7.8 and moderate water hardness. Stable, clean water with regular maintenance is essential for long-term health.

Compatibility:
Veil Angelfish do well with peaceful community fish such as Corydoras, larger tetras, rainbowfish, peaceful gouramis, and peaceful plecos. Avoid aggressive cichlids and fin-nipping fish like tiger barbs.

Lifespan:
With proper care, Veil Angelfish commonly live 8–12 years, providing years of beauty and enjoyment.

The Veil Angelfish is an excellent choice for aquarists looking to add elegance and personality to their freshwater aquarium. Their graceful fins, striking appearance, and peaceful temperament make them one of the most popular and rewarding tropical fish for home aquariums.
