Angelfishes are found on shallow reefs in the tropical Atlantis, Indian and western Pacific oceans. With their vibrant colors and deep, they are some of the more conspicuous residents of the reef. Most angelfishes restrict themselves to the shallows of the reef, seldom venturing deeper than 50 m. They are mainly diurnal, hiding amongst the nooks and crevices of the reef by night .
Albino Peacock Cichlid belong to the family of Cichlidae, which is both large and diverse. There are at least 1300 scientifically described species. Cichlids span a wide range of body sizes, from species as small as 2.5 centimeters in length to much larger species approaching 1 meter .
Cichlids have a great variability in body shape, ranging from compressed and disc-shaped, or triangular shaped to elongate and cylindrical. Cichlids are largely freshwater fish and are less commonly found in brackish and salt water habitats.
