The Rio Demerara Angel is a beautifully marked regional variant of the widespread Pterophyllum scalare unique for its collection locale from the Rio Demerara in Guyana. Fish collected from this locality tend to display the typical vertical banding of wild angels and develop red dorsal spotting which is most prominent in full grown fish. In the wild it is found in warm, acidic, heavily tannin-stained waters close to fallen branches or submerged driftwood piles. In the aquarium, they will do best when kept under similar conditions. Like all freshwater angelfish, they are peaceful for a cichlid and will coexist with a wide range of tankmates provided they are not overly aggressive or small enough to become a meal.

Native to Rio Amazonas outside Leticia, Colombia, these Wild Amazon Angelfish (Pterophyllum scalare) are the natural wild-type color variation. Their bodies are a striking iridescent silver, with vertical black banding. Wild angelfish are a now relatively rare find in the freshwater hobby. As a vertically-oriented species, they do best in a large, tall, planted aquarium with plenty of cover. Although peaceful when young, they can be moderately aggressive towards one another as adults but generally do well in a large enough group, usually 5 or more. Most other non-cichlid tankmates will be left alone but they will hunt and eat very small fish or invertebrates. Angels are somewhat sensitive to water quality so care should be taken to avoid large fluctuations in water conditions and partial water changes should be performed regularly.

The Rio Momon Angel is a beautifully marked regional variant of the widespread Pterophyllum scalare named for its collection locale in the Middle and Upper Rio Momon, Peru. Sometimes known as the “Honey” Angel, fish collected from this locality tend to display highlights of gold or light brown along the dorsal surface, coloration which is most prominent in full grown fish. In the wild it is found in warm, acidic, heavily tannin-stained waters close to fallen branches or submerged driftwood piles. In the aquarium, they will do best when kept under similar conditions, ideally in a group of at least 5 fish and with plenty of cover. Like all freshwater angelfish, they are peaceful for a cichlid and will coexist with a wide range of tankmates provided they are not overly aggressive or small enough to become a meal.
