Preserve the elegant silhouette of the aquatic world with this unique, dried Black Angelfish specimen.
Hand-preserved by Scenic City Oddities, this listing features a real freshwater Black Angelfish (Pterophyllum scalare). This specimen was a beloved home aquarium fish that passed away naturally before being carefully dried, preserved, and coated with a protective sealer to lock in its striking form. It serves as a fascinating piece for an ichthyology collection, wet specimen alternative displays, dark academia shadow boxes, or a unique conversation starter for fish enthusiasts.

🐠 The Specimen Details
  • Featured Specimen: Real Dried Black Angelfish (Pterophyllum scalare).
  • Approximate Size: 4 1/2" (Tip to Tip) x 3 1/2" (Height).
  • Preservation Method: Dehydrated, preserved, and finished with a durable clear sealer coat.
  • Item Code: fsh48

🌊 About the Species
  • Scientific Name: Pterophyllum scalare
  • Common Name: Freshwater Angelfish / Black Angelfish.
  • Natural Origin: Native to the tropical Amazon Basin across Peru, Colombia, and Brazil, they are famously celebrated for their graceful, sail-like fins and distinctive vertical profile.

⚠️ Important Collector Notes (Please Read Before Purchasing)
  • Exact Item Pictured: Please study the listing photos carefully. You will receive the exact Black Angelfish shown in the photos, showcasing its individual character and preservation texture.
  • Natural Aroma Notice: Because this is a real, organic fish specimen preserved via dehydration rather than traditional fluid taxidermy, it may retain a very slight, faint natural fish aroma upon opening.
  • Care Instructions: Keep this delicate specimen completely dry and out of high humidity or direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the sealer and structure. Do not place inside a working aquarium.
  • Return Policy: Due to the fragile, organic nature of this preserved specimen, all sales are final. No returns or exchanges will be accepted on this item.
