Angelfish are one of the most iconic freshwater aquarium fish, admired for their tall, triangular fins, elegant movement, and bold personality. Native to the Amazon River basin, freshwater angelfish are a type of cichlid that adapt well to community aquariums when kept with compatible tank mates. Popular varieties such as silver, koi, marble, and veil angelfish offer striking patterns and colors that make them natural centerpiece fish. Angelfish thrive in warm, slightly acidic water and prefer planted tanks with vertical space that complements their body shape. Hardy and relatively easy to care for, angelfish are suitable for intermediate aquarists seeking a graceful yet visually impressive fish that adds structure, height, and presence to a freshwater aquarium.
