Pterophyllum dumerilii is closely related to the common angelfish and shares similar behaviors and preferences. They are social, graceful swimmers, and should be kept in groups to mirror their natural shoaling habits. The tank should be adequately planted and offer hiding spaces to provide a sense of security, mimicking the fish's natural riverine environment.
