Koi Angel

"Pterophyllum" typically refers to a genus of freshwater fish commonly known as angelfish. These fish are popular in the aquarium trade and are admired for their graceful appearance and distinctive finnage. The most commonly kept species in this genus is Pterophyllum scalare.

Angelfish are characterized by their laterally compressed bodies and long, trailing fins. They come in various color patterns and are known for their unique shape, which somewhat resembles the wings of an angel, hence the name "angelfish." In aquariums, they require appropriate water conditions, including a well-maintained tank with proper filtration and suitable tankmates.
