Striped aquarium beauties
Angelfishes is the plural of angelfish, a type of tropical fish with a laterally compressed body and elongated fins that suggest wings.
Several unrelated species share the name—the freshwater angelfish popular in home aquariums and the brightly colored marine angelfish found on coral reefs.
The angelfishes in the tank were breeding.
