Top 10 or 15 angels?

There is no question that the peppermint is by a mile, the best looking angel.
Maybe prettier by a mile( I contend a regal is), but is it prettier by $14k cause that's the price difference between a peppermint and most other angels.
 
This is the sole reason I don't keep them.

If I were ever allowed another tank things might be different.
Haven't you learned to ask for forgiveness instead of permission? :D
 
Hmmmn, let's see .... Tigerpyge, Regal, Venusta, LemonPeel ..... I guess I like yellow ...... Flame, Asfur, Eibli, Potters, Peppermint and Majestic.

I also agree that the most beautiful (and most expensive) need to be at the top of the list; so I included them.
I probably could've gotten to 15 easily, but I tried to contain all of these "Top ... Lists" to just ten.
And in order...

1. Peppermint Angelfish (P. boylei)
2. Scribbled Angelfish (C. duboulayi)
3. Conspicuous Angelfish (C. conspicillatus)
4. Goldflake Angelfish (A. xanthopunctatus)
5. Regal Angelfish (P. diacanthus)
6. Clarion Angelfish (H. clarionensis)
7. Bandit Angelfish (A. arcuatus)
8. Potter's Angelfish (C. potteri)
9. Rock Beauty Angelfish (H. tricolor)
10. Flame Angelfish (C. loricula)

I have left out many of the angels that I have kept and really enjoyed, but they just cannot beat these beauties out of the top ten.
•African Flameback, Lamarck's, Majestic and Yellow-faced Angelfish.
 
I can't rank them but here are angels I want.

Queen, rock beauty, scribbled, false personifer, gold flake, yellow belly regal, watanabei, blueline, blueface, emperor, venustus, asfur (with long streamer), Singapore.
 
Took long enough for somebody i.e. ca1ore to throw in the Venustus, how about Interruptus, not that I could ever afford one or 3affordfamily one.
 
OK I have been an Angel guy for years there are a few that stand up as good hardy specimens. Here is my list, most of which I own;
1) Clarion (own 2)
2) Anularis (own1)
3) emperor (own2)
4 Navarchus (own1)
5) Queen (own 1)
6) Cortez (own 1)
7) Asfur (own 1)
8) Masculosus (own1 )
9) flameback (own 1)
10 Flame (own 1)
11) Bluface (own1)

13 French (own 1)
14 Rusty (own 1)
15 pygmy (own 1
16 coral beauty (own 1)

That's an impressive list. How many tanks do you house them in? BTW, nice first post!
