The Dalmatin Angelfish is a captive-bred colour morph of Pterophyllum scalare, the classic freshwater angelfish from South America. Named for its distinctive black spots scattered across a silver-white body — reminiscent of a Dalmatian dog — this variant is one of the most visually striking angelfish available. Angelfish are among the most iconic tropical fish, with their tall laterally compressed bodies and long flowing fins.
Adult size is the maximum length this species reaches at full maturity (scientific sources). The livestock you receive will be younger and smaller — pick a size variant above for the actual shipping size. Product-photo provenance and any image-specific limitations are stated on the listing.
