The Cortez Angelfish,Pomacanthus zonipectus，来自东太平洋的大型物种有些赞赏。尽管这条鱼具有华丽的少年色素，包括一个深色的身体，上面有几个大胆的黄色和蓝色条纹，但这是一种反向的小鸭，成年后很少看起来非常好。
The title of ugliest marine angelfish easily goes to the Old Woman Angelfish from East Africa. But the second place prize goes to the Cortez Angelfish, because very few of them look like the gorgeous specimens featured here today.
While visiting the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach on our way down to San Diego for MACNA, we really came to see theonly Clipperton Angelfish on display. However while touring the exhibits a pair of just absolutely lovely Cortez Angelfish also really took us by surprise.
也许我们真的没有很多机会来欣赏一个完全生长的pomacanthus Zonipectus，因为这条鱼对于家庭水族馆的范围很大。但是，当在公开展示中提供一个漂亮的大水族馆时，这条鱼可以充分荣耀。
The rear half of a large adult Cortez Angelfish is marked by a network of reticulating lines, becoming olive yellow in the tail. However it’s the large yellow arc behind the pectoral fins and the bright yellow saddle across the back of the head which really accentuates this fish.
This yellow coloration breaks up into brilliant yellow spots on the pectoral fins, and they flap these like little pennants when swimming about actively. After seeing the full glory of the Cortez Angelfish in person we’ll definitely be giving it a lot more respect in the future and know that the striking juvenile can develop into an equally beautiful adult.
