Angelfish

About the fish:

This is an Angel Fish. It belongs to the Cichlidae family. They live in the Amazon River, among the bulrushes. They grow thickly, and it is no easy task to get between their stems. But the Angel Fish swim freely in and out, for their bodies are completely flat. They come out to play in the clear water, but as soon as there is any sign of an enemy, back they dart into the rushes. Once there, they are as well protected as though they were behind the fence; their enemy can see them, but he can’t get through to them, so he has to give up and go away hungry. There are varieties of Angel Fishes namely Marble Angel, Silver Angel, Zebra Leopard Smokey, Gold Angelfish , Butterfly Angelfish, Black Velvet Angelfish etc whose pictures will be posted in my next post. The picture above is of a Koi Angel.
