Super Red Devil Longfin Angelfish (Pterophyllum scalare)

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

The Super Red Devil Longfin Angelfish combines rich red-orange colour selection with extended finnage for a more dramatic display. This premium domestic angelfish is best appreciated as a slow-gliding focal fish in a tall, carefully stocked aquarium.

Why This Angelfish Stands Out

• Selected for stronger red-orange colour intensity
• Longfin form creates a flowing, high-profile silhouette
• Premium display angelfish for planted freshwater aquariums

Aquarium Setup & Behaviour

A tall, mature aquarium with gentle-to-moderate flow, clear swimming lanes and non-nipping tankmates is ideal. Provide visual barriers if keeping more than one angelfish.

Small groups of juveniles can show natural interaction in a spacious setup, but formed pairs may become territorial and need careful stocking management.

Feeding

Use quality staple foods and varied frozen/live supplementation to support fin quality, body condition and colour.

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

What is the difference between Red Devil and Super Red Devil?
Super Red lines are selected for particularly strong red-orange presentation, although final colour still varies between individual fish.

Are longfins suitable with barbs or other fin-nippers?
They are not recommended with fish known to nip extended fins, because longfin angelfish are more vulnerable to fin damage.
