| Abstract |
| Angelfish is a species of freshwater fish that belongs to the Cichlidae family. This fish is native to the water basins of South America, and because of its beauty and special social behavior, it has attracted the attention of breeders and aquarium lovers. reproduction of angel fish is one of the most attractive and at the same time most challenging activities in reproducing ornamental fish. This process requires a detailed understanding of this species's biological needs, favorable environmental conditions, and social behaviors. The reproduction of these species in the aquarium environment can be difficult for several reasons, including gender recognition, nutritional needs during reproduction, selective mating behavior, diseases, stress, breeding environment, and protection of eggs and larvae. This study will investigate methods of improving angelfish reproduction through optimizing environmental conditions, a balanced diet and behavioral management strategies to support mating and maintenance of eggs and larvae. Also, the importance of careful control of water conditions and providing sufficient and safe space for reproduction will be mentioned. Studies have shown that by strictly observing the scientific and experimental principles in care and breeding, the obstacles in the way of successful reproduction of angel fish can be minimized, and as a result, the success rate of reproduction will increase significantly. These findings can help aquarium fish breeders in improving reproduction performance and increasing the ratio of production of healthy and productive generations of angel fish. |
