Hey Lizzy

The fish breeders of the Czech Republic have added deep gold and red (more of a very dark orange) to the list of Angelfish colour varieties. I have photographs of both varieities – in preparation for illustrating an article.

Gosh, they sound almost…angelic. What would I have to do if I wanted to have them, but without any intention to breed with them, just to enjoy them?
