Angel fish- koi

Common name : Angle fish
Variety : Koi
Scientific name : Pterophyllum scalare

Notes: This variety of angle fish was first developed in Johor , Malaysia slightly more than a decade ago.
Apart from the usual angle features, this variety is distingushed by an orange patch on the forhead.

Beautiful and graceful fish. Need some ornamants in the tanks so that this fish can "park" and sleep upright at night. When kept in a bear tank, this fish sleep flat on the tank bottom at night.

Likes all sorts of worms and fish flakes. Floating or slow sinking feeds preffered.
