Freshwater angelfish are one of the most beautiful varieties of freshwater aquarium fish.
They are also very personable fish that are a pleasure to care for. Angelfish will show their eagerness when they see someone nearby, or at feeding time, by swimming back and forth to attract attention. These fish can even be hand-fed morsels of their favorite foods. It says this fish is indigenous to the South American Amazon river basin, and was brought from Brazil to Europe around 1820. In 1930 angelfish were bred in captivity in the United States for the first time.
