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 genus Pterophyllum 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 it is imported in the aquarium trade.[4] P. leopoldi is the smallest of the angelfish species, reaching a length of 10 centimetres (3.9 in) SL and a height of 15 centimetres (5.9 in)SL.[3]

The specific name honours King Leopold III of Belgium, who sponsored the expedition to the Amazon that collected the type of this species.[5]
