The most expensive type of angelfish are proven breeding pairs.
They'll fetch from $50-$200 on aquabid. It takes about 12 months from birth for them to pair up and mate.

All angels are pretty much a dime a dozen. Just look at aquabid prices

Dime size sell for $1.00 or less
Quarter size usually sell for $2.00 or less
Pre breeders usually sell for $3.00 or less
Breeding age usually sell for about $4.00 or less.

Hopefully you're not in it just to make money.

I know plenty of people that were up to their eyes in angels and could never find buyers for them.
Too much of a good thing IMO is never a good thing.

Wild Altums are the most beautiful and probably the most expensive. But also the hardest to breed. They MUST have soft water, and low nitrate. They are just coming in to the country right now. Gulf Coast Discus is getting a shipment in. You can check their website out here: HoustonAquariumWarehouse.com

I had a (non-breeding) pair of wild altums that are being mentioned- got them for $35 each. Sooo not cheap, but not the most expensive, definitely up there though.

I would probably go for Pinoy or Philippine Blue angelfish. They always seem to be in demand, and they are stunning fish.

Why don't you take a look at some websites and see what sells best? For example:

http://www.angelsplus.com/StoreFish.htm

Oh, and by the way, I took a Spanish class recently...for extra credit, I joined a couple fishkeeping forums in Spanish - these two:
http://www.portalpez.com/forum.php
http://www.drpez.net/

I'm sure there are tons more out there. You may want consider joining one of those if you are more comfortable speaking in Spanish :) Yo hablo un poco de español, pero no lo practico suficiente.
