Red Devil Angelfish
The Red Devil Angel gets its name from its deep red adult coloration. This angelfish is a popular tropical fish due to its unique shape and interesting personality. Freshwater angelfish are aggressive eaters and will rise to the top of the tank when they see you approach. Due to their feeding habits, ensure your less aggressive fish get their share of food during feeding times.
