🐟 Koi Angelfish Care Tips

---

✅ Tank Requirements

• Tank Size: Minimum 150 litres for a pair, as they require vertical space to accommodate their long fins.
• Group Size: Can be kept singly, in pairs, or in small groups if the tank size permits.
• Substrate: Fine sand or smooth gravel.
• Filtration: Moderate flow; they prefer calm water zones to avoid fatigue from their large fins.

---

🌡️ Water Parameters

• Temperature: 24–28°C (75–82°F)
• pH: 6.5–7.5
• Hardness: 5–15 dGH
• TDS: 100–250 ppm

---

🍽️ Diet

• Omnivore: High-quality cichlid pellets, flake food, and frozen bloodworms.
• Supplement with live or frozen brine shrimp for growth and colour.

---

🧼 Tank Maintenance

• Perform weekly water changes (10–15%) using dechlorinated, temperature-matched water.
• Ensure high water quality by vacuuming the substrate to remove waste, as Angelfish are sensitive to nitrate buildup.

🤝 Tank Mates

• Generally peaceful; best kept with other community fish like tetras (large enough not to be eaten), corydoras, and peaceful cichlids.
• Avoid fin-nipping species like Tiger Barbs or very small, bite-sized fish.
