Angel Starfire Red
GloFish® Angel Starfire Red
The GloFish® Angel Starfire Red is a bold and colorful freshwater angelfish that brings a bright red glow to community aquariums. With the graceful body shape of an angelfish and the vivid Starfire Red GloFish® coloration, this fish makes an eye-catching centerpiece for medium to large freshwater tanks.
GloFish® Angels are best suited for peaceful to semi-peaceful community aquariums with stable water quality, plenty of swimming space, and carefully selected tank mates. Their tall body shape and bright color make them especially attractive in planted aquariums or tanks with darker backgrounds and blue LED lighting.

Tank Setup
GloFish® Angel Starfire Red angelfish do best in aquariums with stable water, moderate filtration, and enough vertical space for their tall fins and body shape. A planted aquarium with driftwood, smooth décor, and open swimming areas is ideal.
Avoid sharp decorations that may damage their fins. A taller aquarium is preferred over a long, shallow tank because angelfish need vertical swimming room as they mature.
Diet & Feeding
GloFish® Angels are omnivores and should be offered a varied diet to support healthy growth, color, and activity. Feed a mix of high-quality prepared foods and occasional frozen or live foods.
- High-quality tropical flakes
- Small to medium cichlid pellets
- GloFish® color-enhancing foods
- Frozen bloodworms
- Brine shrimp
- Daphnia
- Freeze-dried treats
Feed only what they can eat within a few minutes and avoid overfeeding to help maintain clean water.
Tank Mates
The GloFish® Angel Starfire Red can work well in peaceful to semi-peaceful community aquariums, but tank mates should be chosen carefully. Avoid tiny fish that may be eaten and avoid aggressive fin nippers that may damage the angelfish’s fins.
- Larger peaceful tetras
- Corydoras catfish
- Peaceful gouramis
- Rainbowfish
- Bolivian rams
- Medium rasboras
- Peaceful bottom dwellers
Avoid very small nano fish, aggressive cichlids, tiger barbs, and other known fin nippers.
Lighting & Color
The Starfire Red coloration looks especially bright under blue LED lighting or GloFish® aquarium lights. They can also be kept under standard aquarium lighting, but specialty lighting helps bring out their fluorescent glow.
