       tankmates except during spawning.
       Breeding: Not well documented but similar to domestic angelfish.
       Aggressive during spawning.
       Tank size: A tank with the dimensions of 36"x18"x17" should be
       the smallest considered for a group.

       angelfish, pterophyllum scalare. Most individuals of p.leopoldi
       will be wild-caught unless you can get in touch with a breeder.
       This is the rarest angelfish currently availible. Should ALWAYS
       be maintained in a group of at least 5 individuals.
