Can angelfish live in saltwater tank?

[SilverArowanaBoi]

Freshwater angelfish aren’t suited for saltwater tanks. They thrive in freshwater or slightly brackish environments, and the higher salinity in a saltwater tank would stress them out. If you’re setting up a saltwater tank, you might want to look into saltwater angelfish species, like the coral beauty or flame angelfish, which are adapted to marine environments.

Wow...your treachery knows no bounds, does it?

I mean...selling out one of your own kind...just to ingratiate yourself into the good graces of real humans...

Unbelievable!

Good day! Freshwater angelfish (Pterophyllum scalare) are not suited to live in a saltwater tank. These fish are specifically adapted to freshwater environments, and introducing them to saltwater conditions can be harmful to their health.

Here’s why:

• Salinity Tolerance: Freshwater angelfish are adapted to low-salinity environments, typically living in water with little to no salt. Saltwater, on the other hand, has a higher concentration of dissolved salts, which would stress a freshwater species and can lead to dehydration or death.
• Physiological Differences: Freshwater fish like the angelfish lack the specialized mechanisms (such as osmoregulation) to deal with saltwater's high salinity. Their bodies would struggle to maintain proper fluid balance.

If you have a 100-gallon saltwater tank, it would be best to stock it with species that are adapted to saltwater conditions, such as clownfish, tangs, or other marine fish. Freshwater angelfish should remain in freshwater or brackish environments, depending on their specific needs.
