I know of four species of Angelfish. They are Pterophyllum scalare, Pterophyllum altum, Pterophyllum dumerilii and Pterophyllum leopoldi. I find it very difficult to differentiate between them but the most commonly available is said to be the P. scalar. There could well be others that have yet to be identified.
