The Black Lace Angelfish (Pterophyllum scalare) is a popular, hardy freshwater fish featuring a striking semi-transparent, smoky-black body with intricate, lacy fin patterns, resulting from a single “Dark” gene (D/+). They require a 55+ gallon tank with warm (76-84 F), soft, slightly acidic water, and are ideal for peaceful, planted, and spacious community tanks.
