Thanks carol, he looks like a gold marble pearlscale veiltail, strange thing i saw him go today though, i have him in a tank with 5 2 inch guppies, but instead hes started to pick on the 4 inch pearl gourami :S is there anything i can do about this?

Very cool angel! Love him.

Does he/she have orange spots/patches? May be Koi angel!!!

BTW, I think its a FEMALE (like to see more photos w/ fully extended fins to confirm). Sex can distinguished even at early stage w/ Angels.
