I have two locally bred Angels. The colors on these fish are so unusual I looked up Angel genetics ( I stink at posting pics so I'll be very detailed in my description) It has the Zebra stripes only part time... the stripes fade in and out at the will of the fish. It's not a trick of the light and it's amazing! It also has partially leopard spots along the dorsal area. Overall color is silver with a spine of copper color along the dorsal and hints of blue on the operculum, head (rostrum) and up into the dorsal fin itself. I also see irridphores along the ventral areas near the tail and belly.
Just amazing... It's smaller tank mate has some features but not those stripes that come and go at will. Anyone know of an Angel doing a squid imitation?!
Also... I've had a Gold Angel many years ago and never worried about water quality. Now that I'm back into tanks I've read up that Angels need lots of water changes to keep their tank clean. Is this like a "gold fish" issue... lots of feces? Just curious.
Thanks for any tips for these beautiful fish.
