 | | The three valid species of freshwater angels, genus Pterophyllum ("tare-oh-fill-um") are members of the Cichlidae, with some 1,300 described species, the second largest (after the minnows) family of freshwater fishes. |
 | | Angelfish are susceptible to the two most common parasitic diseases of freshwater tropicals, ich and velvet, though they tend to be more resistant to these scourges than other fish groups. |
 | | For beauty, grace, hardiness (except for wild types), overall adaptability and diversity freshwater angelfishes are unparalleled amongst aquarium fishes. |
