It is hard to say. His head isn't rounded like a scalare, but it isn't forked like an altum and he definitely doesn't look like one. Perhaps P. Leopoldi?

So that means mine are like... Part wild? :)
not likely. any trace of "wild" would have stripes.

the comparison picture of the scalare in your first post is likely one of a mature male that has the head bump growing.

^looks like the one in the comparison photo.

How large is yours? Have you been able to sex it yet? Could be either a female or young male.

It's P.Scalare.

no doubt in my mind.
BTW, Gold, pearlscale and albino are pretty rare for wilds.
