What adaptation did the Freshwater Angelfish make to live in its environment?

Adaptations-
1.) Compressed bodies with a thin and very slim shape enable Angelfish to slip through thickets of plant growth to escape a fight with another angel, or more importantly, escape danger.
2.) wild Angelfishes natural coloration consists of a silvery background with three or more dark brown stripes. This is very effective for hiding from predators especially in a dark enviroment. One stripe extends over their eye to further hide them from detection...
3.) Angelfish are able to stand "stock-still" for several minutes this also leads to a great advantage as to not be seen by predators in the wild.
Angelfish are also very cautious of the cichlid family and will immediately take cover in the presence of danger.

They are omnivores. I have seen them eat live brine shrimp and herbivore flake food. There are 86 different species of Marine Angelfish and 3 species of Freshwater Angelfish. While most Angelfish species are omnivorous; some Angelfish species are completely herbivorous (algae eaters), and some are completely carnivorous (zooplankton eaters). Most angelfish are omnivores. yes
