Silver Zebra Angelfish
Captive-bred in the USA, the Silver Zebra Angel features a mostly silver body with black or brown stripes. Its fins are thin and extend along the length of the body.
Thrives in a well-planted tank of at least 30 gallons with soft, slightly acidic water. Rocks and driftwood can be included, but ensure ample open space for swimming.
For breeding, house multiple individuals together to encourage pairing. Once a pair forms, provide a flat surface at a 30-degree angle—such as a slate, large leaf, or flowerpot—placed in moderate water flow. The female lays eggs and the male follows to fertilize them.

The Silver Zebra Angelfish is active and beautiful. I kept it in a 30-gallon tank with live plants and it swims well. The coloration is striking and the fish seems healthy after a few weeks.

It’s a peaceful fish that doesn’t stress other tank mates. I added driftwood and plants, and it uses the open space well. The stripes are clear and the fins are elegant.
