Golden Red Eye Angels are stunning freshwater cichlids prized for their distinctive coloring and graceful, disc-shaped bodies. These semi-aggressive fish thrive in well-established tanks with plenty of vertical space and vegetation. They prefer warm water between 74–82°F with a pH of 6.0–7.0 and appreciate dim lighting that showcases their vibrant hues. Golden Red Eye Angels are best kept in pairs or small groups in tanks of 20 gallons or larger. Suitable tank mates include peaceful community fish such as tetras, rasboras, corydoras catfish, and plecos. Aggressive or fin-nipping species should also be avoided. Plants, driftwood, and caves provide essential hiding spots and help reduce stress. Regular water changes and a quality filter maintain the stable conditions these beautiful fish require.
