THE BOOK OF FISHES 
FOUR RESPLENDENT TYPES OF ANGEL-FISH 
The Blue Angel-Fish {Angelichthys isabelita), shown at the lower left, feeds chiefly on crustaceans, and lives 
among the coral reefs of the Florida Keys and the Bermudas. The Black Angel-Fish {Pomacanthus arcuatus)^ 
shown at the upper right, is found from New Jersey, through the waters of the West Indies and as far south as 
Bahia, Brazil. It is one of the most beautiful of reef dwellers. The French Angel-Fish {Pomacanthus paru)^ 
shown at the lower right, is found from Florida to Bahia, and reaches a foot or more in length, but is not considered 
a good food fish. The Rock Beauty {Holacanthus tricolor)^ upper figure, is rarely found in Florida waters, but 
swims as far south as Bahia. It lives in the deeper parts of coral reefs, and is most difficult to trap. 
THE SPADE FISH IS ALSO KNOWN AS THE WHITE ANGEL {Chaetodipterus faber) 
This excellent food fish, which attains a length of from two to three feet, is caught by hook from Cape Cod 
to Rio de Janeiro. It is especially abundant on our South Atlantic Coast.
