Anyone heard of a "Ruby Head" Angel?

[msquared]

I visited a LFS today and saw a pretty angel that I'd not heard of. I can't find it on Google, either. They had it listed as a "Ruby Head" Angelfish. It seemed to have the pearl scales, and was yellow-orange on top of his face and head up through most of its dorsal fin. This all faded to silver/pearl for the bottom two thirds of the fish. The guy said it's an uncommon breed. I should have snapped a cell-phone pic, but didn't think about it. Just wondering if anyone knows what this might be, and especially if it has a more common name. Any help would be appreciated.

PS - It looked a lot like the this fish shown here, except perhaps a little more toward red/orange than this shade of yellow (but not much more):

You will have to go back and take a pic to upload.

My guess is he came up with a fancy name for his reddish koi angel...

I see you're in the Chuck. Good too see fellow show-me fish fans on here!

Did it look anything like this?

Definitely freshwater, yes. This particular angel had absolutely no black on it at all, and I also didn't notice any of the blush around the gills and "chin" that I see on most Koi variety. FWIW, this LFS has a big stock of Koi and Gold Marbles (which I believe are very similar but are actually different breeds) in a separate tank, and theirs tend much more toward the yellow instead of red/orange like yours above (which is beautiful, btw).

PS - I live in Chuck but this LFS is St. Louis metro (Webster Groves area). We have a few good LFS in the area.

PPS - I also have a couple GBRs, as you apparently do (going by your avatar). Any issues with GBR and Angel compatibility?

As I'm looking around, I wonder if it wasn't just an intensely colored Gold Pearlscale Angel?

They are awesome looking

those pics are not a pearlscale.
if it looked like that fish it is a gold .
blush cheeks do not always remain blushed.. often the adults will grow into their colors and as the colors intensify the blush goes away(not all cases)
"ruby head' is probably a common name associated to a color variant.

here is a pic of a pearlscale

Sunset Blusher?

As far as I know it's just a gold, I have 2 of them. The one in the pics is male, but I also have a female. Got them from Petsmart about a year ago.

I have not kept them together but I do have a friend that breeds both and keeps GBR with Angels and Discus with no problems.
