These golden-patterned crepe-like treats were smothered in butter and when on the grill, looked not unlike these bright, multi-toned Golden Checkerboard Pigeon Discus. In fact, the red eyes and tail, seem to be the only distinguishable features of this unique strain. As a child, I delighted in watching the cake batter spread into perfect circles and the bubbles pop on the grill. The anticipation of seeing them on my plate, was almost more than I could handle. The anticipation of things to come may awaken similar feelings of childhood nostalgia, just like waiting for that perfect discus to arrive at your doorstep. And seeing it in the aquarium, with its golden patterns floating through clear ripples of water, might be just what you need to accelerate your anticipation of summer.

Origin: Amazon Basin, Orinoco Basin and various rivers in the Guiana Shield in tropical South America. 
Location: Found in natural tributaries of the Amazon, Orinoco & Guiana Shield River in South America
Diet: They are omnivores, will readily accept most Tropical Flakes, Flakes, Spirulina flakes, Tropical Granules, Algae Rounds, Shrimp Pellets, frozen foods, GHM & BHM’s.
Adult Size: 6-10″
Recommended Tank Size: 130 liters+
Compatibility: Many aquarists don’t realize that angelfish grow quite large and have a bit of a temper. They are too aggressive for smaller tropical fish and too passive for cichlids. Choosing the right tank mates for freshwater angelfish requires a balance.

Though it can be tricky, plenty of fish do well with angelfish. Among them include some tetras, plecos, rainbowfish, and rams.
