A is for Angelfish

Angelfish live in the Indian, Pacific and Atlantic oceans in shallow reefs.  They have flat bodies, long fins and small mouths.  They have a pattern that changes as they get older.  An angelfish may grow to be 6 inches long.

Angelfish can not move fast through water very well because their bodies are squashed like a pancake, but they can turn very quickly.

They are omnivores so they eat algae, zooplankton and small fish.

I think that angelfish are very pretty and wonderful!

    I think the angelfish is now my favorite fish. I had no idea they changed their pattern. Maybe you can do piranha fish for P?

    Hi Mary, I love fish!!! One day, perhaps you could do an A to Z of fish? There is a fish in America called a "Bass", lots of people try to catch Bass with wooden, plastic and metal lures that look just like little fish.

    I didn't know that angelfish patterns change as they get older! That's awesome! Thank you for teaching me that new fun fact! I'm looking forward to the rest of the alphabet!
