Pterophyllum leopoldi, also referred to as the teardrop angelfish, leopold's angelfish[1] dwarf angelfish, or roman-nosed angelfish,[2] is an angelfish species native to the Amazon River (between Manacapuru and Santarém), Essequibo River and Rupununi River.[3]
It is distinguished from other members of the Pterophyllum genus by the absence of a pre-dorsal notch and by the presence of a black blotch at the dorsal insertion on the 4th vertical bar.[1]
The species is frequently misidentified as P. dumerilii when the species is imported in the aquarium trade.[4] P. leopoldi is the smallest of the angelfish species reaching a length of 5 centimetres (2.0 in) SL[3] and the most aggressive.[citation needed]
