Albino Longfin 24K Gold Angelfish (Pterophyllum scalare)

Quarantined freshwater angelfish for taller planted aquariums and carefully selected community setups.

The Albino Longfin 24K Gold Angelfish is a premium selectively bred freshwater angelfish with luminous gold coloration, albino traits, and extended flowing fins. Its bright appearance and graceful vertical profile make it an elegant centerpiece for planted display aquariums.

Why This Angelfish Stands Out

• Bright gold coloration with a refined albino appearance
• Longfin form with dramatic, flowing finnage
• Excellent focal fish for taller planted aquariums

Aquarium Setup & Behaviour

Provide a tall, fully cycled aquarium with open swimming space, vertical plants or wood, and peaceful tankmates. Long fins should be protected from fin-nipping fish and sharp décor.

Juvenile angelfish may be raised in a carefully managed group in a spacious aquarium, but mature fish may form pairs and become territorial, especially during breeding.

Feeding

Feed a varied omnivorous diet including quality pellets or flakes alongside frozen or live foods such as brine shrimp and appropriately sized insect larvae.

Topick Aquarium Livestock Standard

All fish at Topick Aquarium are carefully quarantined and conditioned to our stable local tap water before sale. Although angelfish may be described in literature as preferring softer or more acidic natural conditions, we prioritize stable systems, gradual acclimation, good filtration, and healthy feeding before they become available to customers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the 24K gold colour develop more as the fish grows?
Colour and overall finish may become more expressive with maturity, stable water, quality feeding, and appropriate lighting.

Do longfin angelfish need different care?
Their basic care is similar to other domestic angelfish, but gentle tankmates and décor are especially important to prevent damage to extended fins.
