BLUE PARAIBA VEIL ANGELFISH

Blue Paraiba Veil Angelfish (Pterophyllum scalare) – Shimmering Elegance with Long-Fin Beauty

The Blue Paraiba Veil Angelfish is one of the most striking and elegant angelfish morphs, showcasing a metallic blue body with hints of silver that glisten in the light. Paired with long, flowing veil fins, this angelfish glides through the water with unmatched grace—making it a perfect showpiece for any freshwater aquarium.

This variety is the result of selective breeding to enhance both the Paraiba gene's iridescence and the Philippine Blue trait, resulting in a fish that looks like it’s been brushed with silver and sky-blue tones. It’s ideal for planted tanks, community aquariums, and aquascaping displays that value color and calm movement.
