Majestic Angelfish
The Majestic Angelfish is named for the sweeping, iridescent blue-and-white striping that curls across its body like a brushstroke, finished off with a bright yellow tail. Like every true angelfish, it's carrying a sharp, defensive spine hidden on its gill plate — the exact feature that separates "true" angelfish from butterflyfish, which look similar but lack the hardware entirely. A dramatic centerpiece for an established fish-only or FOWLR tank.
