Queen Angelfish
Despite its bright colors, the Queen Angelfish blends well with
its natural habitat. This fish and its close relative the Blue
Angelfish, commonly hybridize -- that is, a Queen Angelfish and
a Blue Angelfish will mate with each other, producing young fish
that are a combination of their parents. Hybridizing between
species of reef-dwelling fishes is extremely rare, except for
these two angelfishes.
Look For: A large, blue angelfish with yellow tail and round,
black spot on forehead. Spot ringed in blue and peppered with
small blue spots.
Length: 12".
Habitat: Coral reefs.
Range: Florida to South America, including West Indies. |
