There are several different species of fish that are called blow fish.
In freshwater, the common cichlid called and angelfish is a Pterophyllum scalare and there are at least 2 other very closely related and quite rare species of angels as well. These are Pterophyllum altum and Pterophyllum leopoldi, but they are very, very rare in the aquarium hobby and would be very expensive if you ever found them in an aquarium store. There are many saltwater fishes with the common name angelfish.

Different species of marine angelfish feed on different things. The species of the genus Genicanthus feed chiefly on zooplankton in the wild, while members of the Centropyge feed on filamentous algae. There are some species that feed on fish eggs, sponges, tunicates, bryozoans, hydrioids, and/or various sessile benthic invertebrates.
