Black Pinoy Paraiba Angelfish

🖤 Black Pinoy Paraiba Angelfish – Striking Contrast Meets Iridescent Elegance

Elevate your freshwater aquarium with the mesmerizing beauty of the Black Pinoy Paraiba Angelfish, a stunning fusion of jet-black depth and shimmering blue iridescence. This rare angelfish variety showcases a dramatic blend of dark, velvety body tones and electric blue highlights, especially under aquarium lighting—making it a true showpiece for planted tanks and peaceful communities.

Bred from Pinoy and Paraiba lines, this strain combines the best of both worlds: bold black base coloration with metallic blue gene expression that intensifies with age and lighting. Their elegant, flowing fins and graceful swimming style make them one of the most eye-catching and photogenic angelfish in the hobby.
