🖤 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.


🐟 Species Profile:

  • Scientific Name: Pterophyllum scalare (Black Pinoy Paraiba variant)

  • Common Name: Black Pinoy Paraiba Angelfish

  • Size: 3–4 inches (can reach up to 6 inches body length, 8+ inches fin span)

  • Temperament: Semi-peaceful; can be territorial during breeding

  • Tank Size: 30+ gallons (tall tanks preferred)

  • Water Parameters: 76–82°F | pH 6.5–7.4 | Soft, slightly acidic to neutral water

🤝 Recommended Tank Mates:

Black Pinoy Paraibas do best with peaceful to semi-aggressive community fish that won’t nip at long fins:

  • Tetras (Rummy Nose, Cardinals, Lemons)

  • Corydoras and Bristlenose Plecos

  • Dwarf Gouramis, Rams, and Keyhole Cichlids

  • Avoid fin-nippers like tiger barbs or overly aggressive cichlids

These angelfish shine in planted aquariums with vertical décor, driftwood, and soft lighting to bring out their metallic blue hues. Ideal for aquarists looking to build a show-quality aquascape.
