Angelfish Care: The Complete Guide to Caring for and Keeping Angelfish as Pet Fish The Angelfish (scientifically kwn as Pterophyllum) is a small genus of freshwater fish from the Cichlidae family. The Angelfish originates from the Amazon Basin, Orico Basin and various other rivers located in the tropical South America. Angelfish have laterally compressed and round bodies with elongated triangular dorsal and anal fins. This elongated and thin body shape allows the Angelfish to camouflage itself between plants and roots. Wild Angelfish will rmally have vertical stripes on their bodies to further aid in the camouflaging process. The camouflage allows for the Angelfish to efficiently hide from predators and ambush smaller fish it preys upon. Captively bred Angelfish come in a wide variety of colorations and scale design due to selective breeding which stems from the popularity of the Angelfish genus.
