Pinoy scalar

About me: Hello, I am a pinoy angelfish. Like my conspecifics, I can be kept in a group. However, it is important to keep me in an aquarium with more females than males. If you don't pay attention to this, it can quickly come to territorial fights and these can end really nasty! However, I rarely show a real swarm behavior. Since I am a relatively large fish, at least as far as my height is concerned, the tank should be designed sufficiently high! So that I feel well, there should also be some hiding places, preferably plants with large leaves that grow into the middle region.
