The red eye albino angelfish is an albino strain of the South American freshwater angelfish, Pterophyllum scalare. The body is the same tall, flattened disc with long trailing fins, but the dark pigment is absent, leaving a cream to silvery white fish with pink-red eyes. Like every angelfish it is a cichlid, and it stops behaving like a community fish once it matures.
Aquarium care
- Grows tall rather than long, so the height of the tank matters as much as its length.
- Sold small. Plan for an adult several times the size of the fish in the bag.
- Sociable as a juvenile, then pairs form, claim a corner and drive the others off. Be ready to separate or rehome fish.
- Will eat fish and shrimp small enough to fit in its mouth. Neon tetras are the usual casualty.
- Omnivorous: a quality flake or pellet with frozen foods two or three times a week.
- Wants tall plants or wood, calm flow and an open lane to swim in.
- Albino fish carry less eye pigment, so shade the tank with floating plants rather than lighting it hard.
A good centrepiece for a deep, quietly filtered tank of medium-sized fish. Not a fish for a shallow starter tank or for a community of small tetras.
Stock rotates with each shipment, and livestock is sold for local pickup at our Lethbridge store. See what is in on our angelfish page.
