Most "regular" fish, such as the angelfish, have a skeleton made of bone (class osteichthyes, I think). Fish such as sharks, skates, and rays have a skeleton made of cartilage (class chondrichthyes). Even bony fish, though, such as your angelfish, have some cartilage for flexibility. I believe that the baby bony fish, like a human fetus, has pure cartilage until the bone forms. DL
