The Angel fish family includes some of the most attractively patterned of all reef fish. The size of angelfish can vary greatly between species. While dwarf angelfish (centopyge species) attain a maximum length of 5 inches, larger relatives can grow up to 24inches in the wild.
The young of the larger species will differ significantly in appearance to the adults, so bear in mind when choosing for your aquarium and don't buy based on current size as junveniles can quickly outgrow their aquarium.
Larger species of angelfish are more quarrelsome than their small relatives and not generally suited to e housed with invertebrates.
