Freshwater Angelfish

Freshwater angelfish are a type of South American cichlid that originate from the Amazon River and its tributaries.

Angel fish are generally disc-shaped with large triangular fins on the top and bottom of their bodies. Although selective breeding has produced a variety of patterns, naturally occurring angelfish have dark vertical stripes that allow them to camouflage themselves among aquatic plants. Fast Facts:

Popular Pets

Angelfish are among the most popular freshwater fish kept in home aquariums. They may be successfully reared with other non-aggressive species, as they are generally peaceful, but may become more aggressive during periods of mating. Many angelfish owners attest to the intelligence of their fish and their apparent ability to recognize their owners.
