Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Dumerili will often have a more pointed upturned nose, this is one of the more classic wild forms of angels. Others like to see a more perfectly round body with a shorter nose, more of a domestic angel trait. Altums will have a taller, almost angular body, this is another trait that many folks like.

it also depends on the age of the fish. Old males will often develo a bump on their head, which is perfectly normal for some species.
If you are unsure, perhaps post a pic of your fish and we can make fun of it's hideously deformed face
Only joking about making fun of it

If you can find an old fish book or magazine that was written many years ago, or a book on wild caught fish, then you should be able to see what the wild caught fish look like and compare them to your fish.
