Angelfish color reference
This angelfish has the tall, flat body and long swept-back fins of the freshwater angelfish from the rivers of the Amazon basin, a favorite in home aquariums. Wild angelfish are silver with dark vertical bars that help them hide among roots and reeds. The bright reef fish also called angelfish belong to a different family.
