Description
Overview:
The Albino Dantum Angelfish is a rare and elegant freshwater angelfish, celebrated for its pearly white body, long flowing fins, and striking red eyes. A selectively bred variant of the Dantum strain of Pterophyllum scalare, this angelfish boasts both genetic uniqueness and graceful movement. Its peaceful nature and luminous appearance make it a standout in planted or community aquariums.
Origin:
A domesticated strain, originally developed from wild-type P. scalare crossed with Dantum angelfish—known for their robust build and impressive finnage. The albino mutation enhances the bright, ethereal look, especially under soft or natural lighting.
Feeding:
Omnivorous and easy to feed. Provide a varied diet of high-quality flakes or micro-pellets, frozen bloodworms, brine shrimp, and vegetable-based flakes to ensure vibrant health and coloration.
Tank Mates:
Generally peaceful, the Albino Dantum does well with calm community species such as tetras, corydoras, gouramis, dwarf rainbowfish, and peaceful barbs. Avoid fin-nippers or overly aggressive fish. Can be kept singly, in pairs, or small groups in adequately sized tanks.
Water Parameters:
- Temperature: 76–82°F (24–28°C)
- pH: 6.5–7.5
- Soft to moderately hard water
- Minimum Tank Size: 30 gallons for a pair; larger for groups
- Tall tanks preferred due to long fins and upright swimming style
Special Notes:
- Prefers planted tanks with gentle flow and plenty of vertical swimming space
- May pair off and breed in the right conditions
- Albino coloration may intensify under natural or warm LED lighting
- Best kept in stable, well-maintained tanks
The Albino Dantum Angelfish is an eye-catching blend of beauty, poise, and rarity—perfect for aquarists looking to elevate their freshwater aquarium with a truly angelic centerpiece.
