The Altum Angelfish (Pterophyllum altum) is a rare and highly prized tropical ornamental fish native to the Amazon River basin in South America. It belongs to the cichlid family. Known for its large body size (reaching up to 30 cm in height), long dorsal and a**l fins, and silver-gray body with black vertical stripes, it is not actually from Egypt despite its common name. Altum angelfish are generally peaceful but territorial, and are best kept in groups in large planted aquariums with soft, slightly acidic water. They are widely regarded in the aquarium hobby as one of the most elegant and noble freshwater fish species.埃及神仙（学名：Pterophyllum altum）是一种产自南美洲亚马孙河的珍贵高级热带观赏鱼，属慈鲷科。以体型巨大（高可达30厘米）、背鳍和臀鳍修长、身体银灰带黑条纹而闻名，并非产自埃及。它们性情温和但有领域性，适宜在大型水草缸中弱酸性软水中成群饲养。
