Prettiest Type Of Angelfish

[NormaJean]

What in your opinion is the prettiest/best looking type of angelfish? I'm getting a few for my new aquarium, I've already got a black angelfish, what other one should I get?

Anything as close to Altums, none of this spangled koi, snakeskin garbage bred fish. Nature does it best always!

 

[Westwood]

Agreed, I like all angelfish, their shape is just amazing, but Altums are definitely my favourite!
I hope to one day have a 5 foot tank with Altums and a load of Cardinals

Love and have altums. Have a line on some red shoulders coming in soon I hope.
For some good pics of the various wild type angels have a look here Finarama Pterophyllum Species Identification Guide

For the tank bred stuff, I have only ever liked double dark black angels.

i have a pure black angel that look great mooching around my tank. if my tank was more suitable, i'd love to partner it up with a platinum though.

i think Altums are going to be pretty much on the top of everyones list as best looking angelfiah without a doubt.

i have to agree with James on this that natural looking angels defo look so much better especially when in a group. Altums are expensive and very fragile fish so may not be suitable for the everyday fish keeper. why not look at leopoldi angels? i have a group of 8 and they are turning into stunners they arent the cheapest about but do look much much better than the man made specimins.

I got a leopard angelfish with very light "spots". I think he's beautiful! But to each there own.
