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.
