My #1 freshwater is the Altum Angelfish. Ya just can't beat an adult school of them. :D
There are a lot of them that are competing for the #2 slot tho. Too many to list.

My #1 Saltwater is the Asfur Angelfish but recent discoveries of new species may knock that off. :whistle:
Again, there are a whole bunch that are competing for the #2 slot. ;)
 
Wow! I looked them up, Andy, the Altums. Bellissimo! How big do they get? I’m seeing conflicting info online.

They get tall vs long. The biggest I've seen was approx 18" from dorsal fin tip to anal fin tip. ( They were at a public aquarium in NY back in the 60s.) Any tank shorter than 24" tall is really too short for them if you can keep them to full adulthood. :huh:
