how to make a kissing angelfish ice sculpture
This design is based on the earlier angelfish design. I haven’t carved this piece, but there’s nothing technically unusual about it, so I wouldn’t expect any difficulties. Just be sure that the lower fins are thick enough to support the ice above and pay special attention to the point where the fish meet. You can definitely make the “fish lips” a bit bigger too 
For a variation on the design, don’t cut the waves in the base and add names for a wedding couple instead. If you do that, you might want to elevate the sculpture slightly as well.
a classic ice sculpture design that I’ve sculpted many times is the kissing swans piece. This kissing angelfish ice sculpture is sort of a seaside wedding version of that design.
The tops of the dorsal fins do need to be welded on and if you carve the sculpture from a thinner slab, you can get the dorsal fins and also a stabilizing base (not pictured) from a 3-4” thick slab cut from the block. Or, if you have an extra piece of ice that has enough thickness, you could cut the dorsal fin and then split the piece, giving you two fins.
For a little extra dimension, freeze on small pieces of ice for their pectoral fins (the little fins on the sides of their bodies). I do this a lot with the single angelfish design.
