"The distinctive shape of the angelfish lets is appear larger than it actually is. ...It's quite beautiful, and though it is a tropical fish, it has many tricks for staying alive, eh wot? Those skills make it far more resilient than other, pampered tropical fish. Perhaps this fact is what earned the angelfish the title 'Tropical Fish Queen.'"

Trivia

Real Life

The Angelfish is a freshwater fish that can be found in rivers. The body of the Angelfish is in the shape of a triangle and is very skinny which allows it to hide among different underwater weeds and roots. The Angelfish also comes in a large variety of shapes and sizes due to selective breeding. These include anything from Koi Angelfish to Golden Angelfish.
