Angelfish are popular among aquarists because of their unique arrowhead bodies and flowing fins. Although angelfish are usually peaceful, angel fish can be prone to prey upon small fish if they can fit them in their mouth, and odd fits of aggression amongst themselves or with fish of a similar size, especially during breeding season, although this aggression is commonly not fatal.
Angelfish are native to tropical South America, including most of the Amazon water system in French Guiana, Brazil, Guyana, Columbia, and Peru. Angelfish are commonly found in slow-moving streams, floodplains, and swamps, in warm, acidic freshwater. Angelfish are active, mid-level swimmers in an aquarium, weaving in and out of aquarium plants, and are diurnal – meaning that they’re more active during the day than at night.
