Albino Red Cap Angelfish 7-8cm

The Albino Red Cap Angelfish (Pterophyllum scalare var.) is a charming and distinctive colour form featuring a creamy white body with a vivid red-orange cap on the head — a striking contrast that makes this variety instantly recognisable. The albino gene softens the overall palette while the red cap adds a bold focal point, creating a fish that is both elegant and eye-catching. At 4cm, these are young juveniles with their red cap already developing, offering a rewarding grow-on experience.
