	Pterophyllum scalare II
		Pterophyllum species are better known by their common name, Angel Fish.
		Part of its popularity is also due to the fact that, since water requirements, temperament and size are comparable to that of the discus, many hobbyists keep them together.
		The genus Pterophyllum has three species (altum, leopoldi and scalare) which may seem identical to the novice.

	Pterophyllum
		Pterophyllum systematics is currently being studied and there is reason to believe that there will be some adjustments to the species level nomenclature in the near future.
		Our domestic strains are most likely a collection of genes resulting from more than one species of wild angelfish combined with the selection of mutations in domesticated lines over the last 60 or more years.
		It is strictly a man-made ornamental fish that is not meant to be re-introduced to the wild.

	Altum angel, Pterophyllum altum \| Printer friendly version
		Similar species: At the moment, there are three valid species in the genus Pterophyllum: P. altum, P. scalare and P. leopoldi (which used to be called dumerillii).
		Identification: At least a couple of other species are sold as P. altum in the trade - P. scalare and the Peruvian altum, which is either a form of scalare or an undescribed species which is closely related to it.
		You can distinguish altum from scalare by looking at the pre-dorsal profile and the size and number of stripes, however, since there appear to be several other Pterophyllum that fall within altum and scalare, identification can be tricky.

	FWAngelfishes
		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.
		Two other protozoan complaints, Hexamita and Spironucleus can be sources of great and continuing losses of Pterophyllum, sometimes resulting in hobbyists quitting their use and stores giving up carrying them altogether.
