About
Amazonia Tropical Fish is a Philadelphia, PA angelfish breeder that has earned a near-cult following among serious freshwater hobbyists, and the best way to appreciate it is to see the fish in person. Owner Arek, whom regulars affectionately call "Angel," raises some of the most striking angelfish you will find anywhere, and visitors who stop by the facility describe rows of setups packed with vibrant, healthy stock. The flagship is angelfish, and the range is remarkable: Red Devil Koi, Blue Marble, Philippine Blue, Black Smash, and Leopard, alongside wild-type lines like Manacaparu, Nanay, and Pterophyllum altum.
These are show-quality fish; reviewers with 40 and even 50 years in the hobby call them the finest angels they have ever owned, and the color genuinely outshines any photo. If you are hunting for premium angelfish for sale in Philadelphia, PA, this is a destination fish store worth the trip. Beyond the angels, Amazonia keeps discus that draw their own loyal crowd, including Wild Heckel and Blue Diamond, plus the occasional rarity.
One visitor walked out thrilled with a half-banded spiny eel, while others have added cardinal tetras and swordtails to a tank. House fish food and feeding samples round out what is available. What customers mention again and again is Arek himself.
He is patient, deeply knowledgeable, and happy to walk you through fish selection one tank at a time; several buyers spent months deciding and credit his guidance for landing on exactly the right fish. One discus shopper went in for a single fish and walked out with three. If you are local, it is worth reaching out ahead of a visit so he can have things ready for you.
For angelfish and discus lovers around Philadelphia, Amazonia Tropical Fish is a small, owner-run fish store where the livestock quality and the breeder's personal attention live up to every bit of the hype.

Customer reviews
“I bought 3 small Manacaparu Angels and they are going to be a spectacular addition to my show tank. I do have them in quarantine but only out of an abundance of caution, no other reason. After a few hours acclimating they are begging for food like puppies and are in perfect condition. Communication from Amazonia has been excellent also and I am looking forward watching them grow into adults. Cheers!”

— Sandy Rolfs5.03 days ago“They do not disappoint! I got 4 koi angel juveniles and I was very impressed❤️They arrived on time and in great condition! I was excited to see they were two per bag to give more water per fish. They have since been in the tank after acclimating and now follow around my adult angel who has a great disposition and they swim in a pack. So absolutely overall happy and will be purchasing again now that were working on a 125gallon❤️Thanks yall so much!!!”

Arrived by 10:30am. No complaints. I am really happy with this purchase. Great communication with Arek also.”
— DEBBIE GAMBLE5.03 weeks ago“Beautiful full coverage kois!! Great communication from Amazonis!! Bought 2 full coverage kois. Arrived happy and healthy! (Pic of 1 within 24 hours of delivery) (slight shedding in the fins most likely from shipping, but so minimal) i chose 2 day shipping. I dont suggest, I did receive mine alive but it is TERRIFYING if they run late!! (My driver was running late) Very excited to purchase again very soon!”
