Potter’s Angelfish

Potter’s angelfish have a unique pattern, with a deep orange on its front and dorsal region, which shades to a grayish-blueish side. Its posterior has vertical lines of blue and black. Potter’s angelfish are endemic to Hawaii and are the most common angelfish seen in the Hawaiian Islands. Reaching only 5 inches in length, this species does well in aquarium environments.
