The Angelfish Society was founded in 2000 and became incorporated in March 2003 as a not-for-profit corporation.

We are a collection of Angelfish enthusiasts, hobbyists and breeders who are interested in the advancement of our hobby, through improvements in the quality of the fish we keep and breed, by employing the standards which this society will develop.

Our founding membership comes from the Angelfish Forum where the idea evolved that a set of standards used throughout the hobby would benefit not only the Angelfish, but also the professional breeders, hobbyists and enthusiasts who enjoy these wonderful freshwater fish.

The Angelfish Society is dedicated to the enhancement of the Angelfish through high quality breeding programs using standards established by the society.

Defining these standards will be the initial focus of the society. It is our hope that these standards will help to avoid the widespread use of "cute" or "catchy" names for Angelfish phenotypes which seem to proliferate in the names of other species, and serve only to confuse the novice Angelfish enthusiast.

We will also be focused on setting standards for identifying the genotypes of the Angelfish we breed and keep, and the genetic notations used to describe them..
