Tall, graceful, and painted like a koi in orange, black, and white - living art for the middle of your tank.
WHAT YOU GET: A group of 6 tank-raised KOI Angelfish (Pterophyllum scalare) - a captive-bred color morph patterned like a Japanese koi in bold orange, black, and white. Shipping at roughly quarter- to nickel-body size and growing into a tall, elegant adult. Captive-bred, not wild-caught or imported.
ABOUT THIS FISH: A stunning centerpiece cichlid from the Amazon basin. Tall, graceful, and full of personality, angelfish add height and elegance to a planted community tank; koi angels often develop richer orange 'blushing' with age and good light. Best started as a group of 3 or more so a pair can form naturally.
CARE SNAPSHOT: Temp 78-84F, pH 6.0-7.5, soft to moderately hard water. Minimum 29 gallons - taller tanks are preferred for their finnage. Omnivore - quality flake or pellet plus frozen bloodworm and brine shrimp. Peaceful but can be territorial when spawning; keep with medium-size, calm community fish and avoid tiny fish or fin-nippers.
BRED AND RAISED BY US: Every fish is grown out in our Key West, FL fishroom in clean, parameter-stable water, then quarantined and inspected before it ships - nothing imported or drop-shipped. A full printable KOI Angelfish care guide is included as a download with this listing, and more guides live at jojoaquatics.com.
SHIPPING: Shipping is calculated at time of purchase. Estimates can be found on our website jojoaquatics.com, we ship via UPS Next Day Air or FedEx overnight. We ship Monday or Tuesday only, continental US, to avoid weekend warehouse delays; a tracking number is emailed when the label is generated. Your fish is fasted before packing, double-bagged in clean conditioned water, and insulated in a styrofoam box. We monitor the forecast for both Key West and your zip code and will reschedule rather than ship into extreme heat or cold. On arrival, float the sealed bag 15-20 minutes, then drip-acclimate over 45-60 minutes. Live Arrival Guarantee: photograph any DOA in its sealed, unopened bag and email help@jojoaquatics.com within 2 hours of delivery for a replacement on the next ship day or a refund on the fish.
LIVE ARRIVAL GUARANTEE: If anything arrives DOA, photograph it in the sealed, unopened bag and email help@jojoaquatics.com within 2 hours of delivery for a replacement on the next ship day or a refund on the affected livestock.
