Wow is this realy something or what, a fish pairing with another to work hand in hand to look after each others back intimes of danger. Only a true neighbour id say has this true qualities

I think it's cute that these fish team up together! Humans could learn alot from these fish, like helping a mate and protecting one another!

French angelfish

You're unlikely to ever find a French angelfish alone — these creatures live, travel and even hunt in pairs. The fish form monogamous bonds that often last as long as both individuals are alive. In fact, they act as a team to vigorously defend their territory against neighboring pairs.
