Albino Dantum

Rare, pale, and wonderfully distinctive — the Albino Dantum Angelfish is a premium and uncommon angelfish variety combining the albino genetics with the Dantum body form — a rounder, deeper-bodied angelfish shape that gives this fish a more compact, disc-like profile compared to standard Pterophyllum scalare. A true collector’s fish for the serious angelfish enthusiast.

Overview

Appearance

The Albino Dantum displays a pale white to cream albino colouration with characteristic red eyes, on a rounder, deeper-bodied Dantum frame. The Dantum body form is more compact and disc-shaped than standard angelfish, giving this variety a distinctive, almost discus-like profile. The pale albino colouration glows beautifully under aquarium lighting, and the unique body shape makes this fish instantly recognizable to knowledgeable angelfish enthusiasts.
