They are a beautiful shade of silver on their front half, and they are a dark gray or ebony on the back half. The distinct separation of color between the front and back looks almost as if it was painted on. The Pearly Gold variety is a dazzling shad of gold. This strikingly beautiful angelfish appears to be illuminated because of its shiny body. They are truly a stunning addition to any freshwater aquarium.
Black angelfish are solid ebony, but very striking just the same.
Their elegant beauty greatly enhances a freshwater aquarium. The Black Lace angelfish is a lovely variety. They are also black, but sport wide stripes. These stripes alternate from light to dark over the body. Zebra angelfish have a black body with narrow stripes like that of a zebra.
