Are angelfish herbivores carnivores or omnivores?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

They are omnivores. I have seen them eat live brine shrimp and herbivore flake food.

There are 86 different species of Marine Angelfish and 3 species of Freshwater Angelfish.

While most Angelfish species are omnivorous; some Angelfish species are completely herbivorous (algae eaters), and some are completely carnivorous (zooplankton eaters).

Most angelfish are omnivores.

If Oscar's change in color is it a sign of aggression?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Oscar fish typically change color as a means of communication, displaying their mood or reacting to their environment. While intense color changes can sometimes be associated with aggression, it's important to consider other behaviors like flaring fins and body posture to determine their overall state.

How often do you feed a pregnant platy?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

well they keep breeding while there is a female in the tank and the water conditions are right. you should get at least 1 male and 3 or 4 females or 2 males and 3 or 4 females. you want to get more females than males so the males dont harrass the female. the female can often give birth 3 to 6 times without having to breed again. I remember when my male and this one female bred together and soon after her second birth the male died and she gave birth about 4 more times.then a few months her last birth she dissapeared. Anyway its about 2-3 weeks between births so if your platy is pregnant I hope this helps and good luck!!!!
