With my experience, I can tell you these are freshwater species native to South America, particularly the Amazon River basin. Their most striking feature is their compressed, disc-like body shape and long, flowing fins, which give them a graceful and majestic appearance. This particular color variation is often referred to as a "marble" or "koi" angelfish due to the mottled pattern of black, white, and orange. Their calm demeanor and beautiful finnage make them a classic and highly sought-after species among aquarium hobbyists. The way they glide through the water, with their fins trailing behind them, is truly a sight to behold.
