Daily fish fact #813
Peppermint angelfish!
It lives 53 to 120 meters (174 to 394 feet) deep which makes it a rare sight — and very expensive in the aquarium trade. Like other marine angelfish, it is a protogynous hermaphrodite, which means that the females can change their sex to become male.

One of the rare angelfish I used to take care of at the Waikiki aquarium. Nickname, Mr. Montgomery Peppermint.
