My angelfish that I bought from Petsmart is a very shy creature. It doesn't like to be bothered and likes to stay behind the big rock in the middle of our aquarium. It is very easy to take care of and doesn't require a lot of attention. It is a member of the cichlid family and it originates from South America. Angelfish are carnivorous and it is best to feed them flakes. They can grow up to 10 inches, but they average about 6 inches. When they grow to be adults, they will get very aggressive and it is better to put them in different tanks. They need a temperature range of 74F to 78F when they are kept as pets. The pH of the water must be from 6.5 to 6.9. They are very prone to ick, which is what I think one of our fish died from. And finally, males and females look the same. You can't tell the difference until the female is ready to breed.
