Name that Angel

[JDogg]

i was in the LFS a few weeks ago and saw what IMO is the best looking strain of Angel fish i have ever seen... it was striped on silver and brown-ish body the stripes were more brown then black as well

did NOT look like this...

there was definitely more brown... i think they called it a "tiger" angel...

well i have a couple of LFS and i can not remember which one i saw it at...
i was talking to the owner of one of the LFS and she had no idea what i was talking about...but she would definitely order them for me if i can figure out what they were...(other lfs is not as accommodating)

so anyone know what kind of angel i may have seen... i can not find any information on a "tiger" angel... :?

 

[WaterPond]

well, i can't find any info on tiger angles either. It has the markings of an altum, but it is not because it has red eyes and altums do not. Hmm, i will do some research for you.

might be a Silver Zebra Angel... but does not look right :?

 

[WaterPond]

nope, definatley not, looks like a silver, except the eyes, hhhmph http://www.fishfactoryonline.com/images/Fish/silver3.JPG

 

[JDogg]

i think you confused...


the pic i posted is of the angel i HAVE... not the one i am looking for... the one i am looking for is similar to the silver "wild type" i have, but has brown and more stripes..lol

you are right that the blood red eyes of my angel are kind of unique..at least i have not seen other angesl with red eyes

more brown (but not marble) definite stripes though...

i will have to go to the other LFS and ask around..they do get a fair amount of locally Breed fish is (GBR, Discus...) perhaps this a a new locally created strain :?

 

[Jchillin]

That is entirely possible considering how many color morphs that can be "created". Good luck finding him again, I'd like to see it.

Just to be sure. It is not one of these.

I WISH! LOL

Maybe our angels are long lost brothers... lol. I have never seen an angel with brown, sounds pretty though.

I am with you. They are on my short list once I can free up some money.

too dark..maybe brown is not the correct term..think more copper-ish

They are pretty! The LFS I used to frequent before I moved had "chocolate" angels kind of frequently. I think they were locally bred, and I haven't seen any since then. They looked a lot different than the usual varieties. Come to think of it, they had some "chocolate marble" angels once and I bought a couple. Maybe it would be possible to breed for chocolate colors and stripes?

 

[Jchillin]

Didn't you have a pic of yours posted once? I recall that angel...he was the one in the tank at work?

 

[severum mama]

Yeah, I had a couple chocolate marbles, and 4 regular marbles. They only lasted a few months even though perams were always perfect. Never figured that one out, just one of those things I guess!
