Ahl, 1937
Max length75mm SL3.0in SLTank75 × 30cm30 × 12inTemp15–25°C59–77°FpH6.0–7.5Like most badids this species is poorly documented and has yet to find significant popularity in the aquarium hobby. It is easily confused with B. blosyrus at first glance as the body patterning of the two is almost identical but can be distinguished by its slightly larger adult size, noticeably shorter jaw profile and some other, mostly internal, meristic characters. Prior to 2002 the family Badidae inc...

Pterophyllum leopoldiRoman Nose Angelfish
Gosse, 1963
Max length100mm SL3.9in SLTank90 × 30cm36 × 12inTemp22–29°C72–84°FpH5.0–7.0Pterophyllum leopoldi can be differentiated from other members of the genus by the presence of up to 11 vertical stripes on the body, though often only the 3 largest, boldest stripes can be seen. This species also shows a dark patch over the operculum. In adult specimens, a red/maroon hue over the back and fins is characteristic of the species, leading some to believe the most colourful natural form Angelfish. The name-sake roman nose possessed by the fish is also very distinctive and used as a meristic feature.
