Saltwater
Native to the Indian and Pacific Oceans, this fish is also known as a Red Stripe, Orangelined and Blacktail Angelfish. Its body is a lustrous blue-grey with reddish-orange, evenly spaced, vertical stripes. The caudal fin, or tail, is black and outlined in blue. Breeding this angel in a tank is difficult due to it being a hermaphrodite; meaning there are no noticeable differences between a male and a female.
