Curated starter supplies researched for this companion's specific anatomy and needs
Adult angelfish grow over 8 inches tall with extended dorsal and ventral fin trailers; tall aquariums prevent fin cramping and allow graceful vertical cruising.
Naturally surface-feeding ambush carnivores, angelfish thrive on insect larvae; sterilized bloodworms fuel vigorous fin growth without live parasite risks.
Angelfish naturally spawn and seek shelter against wide vertical foliage; soft silk Amazon sword plants provide security without snagging trailing fins.
