angelfish

Flat tropical swimmer

Angelfish are tropical freshwater or marine fish with laterally compressed bodies and elongated fins that give them a graceful, wing-like appearance.

The freshwater variety, popular in home aquariums, has vertical stripes and flowing dorsal and anal fins.

Marine angelfish are often brilliantly colored reef dwellers.
