Angels strain

[cs_sg]

What kind of angel fish are these?

Anyone knows the scientific name?
The maximum size when the fish matures?

[budak]

Pterophyllum scalare. Plain angelfish (gets to 15-20 long if given enough space), as opposed to the super expensive altum angel, which is slighter in build with a somewhat upturned snout.

Thanks Budak.

You mean 15-20Centimeters in height inclusive of fins right?

Any idea the average lifespan of these angels shown in the picture?

kept properly they have a good lifespan, around 10-15 yrs, try to get young wild peruvian red spot scalare, they are one cute fish,
if given the space they should grow to 15-20 cm long.

Thank you for the replies

do take note.. angel fish are aggressive to other fishes and they do nip them.

Yeah, I do notice these angels are quite aggressive.
The tank has about 10pencils and 2 otos in there.

The angels nip among themselves but no major harm done. So far, they do leave the oto alone and the pencilfish are fast enough I think. I'll monitor them and see if they're getting more agressive.

nip among the group is common. don't put slow swimming fishes or fishes with fancy tail
