This real fish in resin is a freshwater Angelfish. Its Scientific name is Pterophyllum Scalare. It is the most common species of Pterophyllum that is kept in captivity. It is originally native to the waters of the Amazon Basin in Brazil, Columbia and Peru.

The clear resin lucite which it is set in is nearly indestructible and measures approximately 3 inches square. Add a nice finishing touch to your preserved fish with an optional display stand. Made of clear acrylic, this stand really enhances the piece, giving it a nice viewing angle.

This is a great aquatic specimen for teaching or to give as a gift. As with all natural specimens in resin, size, shape and coloration of angelfish within the lucite block can vary slightly. We guarantee a quality specimen but not the exact one shown.
