Red Devil Angelfish 5cm

The Red Devil Angelfish (Pterophyllum scalare var.) is a striking selectively bred colour form of the classic freshwater angelfish, displaying a vivid red-orange to deep crimson body that commands attention in any aquarium. At 5cm, these are young juveniles with plenty of growing to do — a wonderful opportunity to raise them on and watch their colour intensify as they mature. Their regal, sail-like fins and bold colouration make them a standout centrepiece fish.
