How many bones does an angelfish have?

Answer 1

Well, isn't that just a lovely question! Angelfish have a delicate skeleton made up of bones called vertebrae. They typically have around 24 vertebrae, which give them the flexibility to gracefully swim through the water. Just imagine those little bones gently guiding them as they glide through the peaceful ocean.

Answer 2

Most "regular" fish, such as the angelfish, have a skeleton made of bone (class osteichthyes, I think). Fish such as sharks, skates, and rays have a skeleton made of cartilage (class chondrichthyes). Even bony fish, though, such as your angelfish, have some cartilage for flexibility. I believe that the baby bony fish, like a human fetus, has pure cartilage until the bone forms. DL
