Dwarf Angel Hybrid??

[park83]

I purchased this fish as a Half Black Dwarf Angel (see pic below), however, I believe it to be a Elibi / Half Black hybrid due to its vertical orange stripes. What are your opinions on this? If he is a hybrid, how much would I have paid for him if he was sold as one? ...also would there be an increased level of care?

Thanks.

could be one...not sure but looks like it and im not really sure on the price but its usually more than double the regular fish.

Yeah, thats what I was seeing. I paid 25 bucks for him. I've seen lemonpeel/half black hybrids going for 150, and they seem to be the most popular dwarf angel hybrids.

Nice fish! I think it's a hybrid too- great find.

No clue how much the going cost would be but I'm thinking more than $25!

Yeah, even if it is worth a lot, im keeping him. The picture doesnt do it justice, its a great lookin fish.

Looks like an Eibli to me. See the pic about 1/2 to 3/4 down this page.http://wetwebmedia.com/marine/fishes/angels/centropyge/index.htm

I was thinking that too when I was searching for different pictures online last night.

It seems to me the stripes would be more pronounced and not as dull and pale, unless some Eibli's are like that of course.

Regardless, a beautiful find!

Thats is also what made me think its a hybrid.

You know what, I'm almost certain that it's an eibl's/golden cross, or a half black / golden cross.
