Came home from a longish day at work and was greeted by a couple of hungry angels! When they're desperate to get my attention they fan all of their fins out to maximum spread and the way they "billow" in the current is really something to see. Hard to capture in a photograph but I did the best I could

 

[Tim68]

Some of my Angeles.

 

[Aquaphobia]

Marvin's such a pretty angel, too bad he's such a bully

 

[Dave125g]

Here's my newbie. 10 day into quarantine. Soon she (hopefully) will meet my gigantic koi male. Here's the big male

 

[Sarah73]

Cute! My male is being a pig. He has a female

I have 5 angels but I only have a picture of one of them on my phone lol. I have a breeding pair, Juliette and Lazuli. Then I have two more named Romeo and Kylo. And then yesterday I bought an albino pearlscale named Salem. I only have a picture of Salem at the moment.

 

[Dave125g]

Here's a couple.

 

[Khaleah]

#2 shorty and new bestie (no name yet)
#3 Buba a black lace
#4 Buba and spike marble

Here’s some pictures of my new angels. The two little tiny ones are my blue marbles I got about 2 weeks ago. They’re starting to show their blue a little!

 

[Mcasella]

My two new large paraiba (most likely males).

 

[jmaldo]

My Breeding Pair. "DD Black" ?

 

[Mcasella]

My Breeding Pair. "DD Black" ?

Black lace ghost on left, pinoy smokey ghost on the right (you can see the faintly darker smokey markings on the right one).

Blue Smokey pair (with a massive mess of genetics going on, cause they produced paraiba babies).

Omg I have so many angel pics!

My first angel ever! Saying hello literally

She was a gold marble pearlscale and the original mama

One of her offspring with her own babies. This angel I still have and she is my best mama angel. She's at least 8 years old now and still spawning!


Some pics of my glitter platinums



Nice pics of one of my philipine blue pairs


And the very special pic of my blue silvers in my 120 gallon in 2017.
And my avatar

Sadly I only have two of any of these angels left, callamanus worm took them all out But a nice commemoration.

Most up to date pic of my 6.5 year old wild caught Peruvian Altum- "Juliet" HE (haha yes he) is getting quite large. Not sure we are done growing yet??

 

[MomeWrath]

I added one to my tank on Friday. Just a run of the mill mutt from petsmart but I love his lonnnnng fins. He reminds me of a Siamese cat. He has a wild color head, smokey unpaired fins, and a white-ish body and pelvic fins. Is there a name for this color?

 

[bizaliz3]

Blushers lose their pink cheeks as adults. Their gill plates are see-through as juvies...which is why the gills look pink. As adults the gill plate fills in. Here is one of my adult blushers.

Heres one of his kids...cheeks are still a little pink.


The other thing blushers have are the iridescent patches.

Blushers come in other great combos too. Koi are blushers!!! My favorite angelfish type are paraibas. Which are blue blushers. Here are a couple of those.

 

[Mcasella]

Blue leopard, with a single blushing gene. May be a chocolate with two smokey genes, wouldn't know until she decides to breed. She is 1.5" and refuses to grow bigger no matter what I do. The picture is taken right below the filter output so the particles are bubbles. She was scooting around so her fins aren't fully extended (as well as she kept trying to look at me straight on like the gold marble on the left)

My two angels

 

[bizaliz3]

Progressive shots are some of my favorites! Here is the growth process of this superveil comb tail pearlscale pinoy paraiba. (That is a mouthfull!!!! Haha)

She was kind of an ugly duckling at first. And blossomed into an incredible swan!!

 

[bizaliz3]

Pearlscales have bumpy scales. Hers are hard to see in those photos. Heres a better shot. It's hard to see them on paraibas because you can only see them on the blue patches.


A pinoy is an angel that has 2 blue genes and 1 or 2 dark genes.

Paraibas are blue blushers. 2 blue genes and 2 stripeless genes.

This one has 2 blue genes 2 stripeless genes and a dark gene. So she is pinoy paraiba. Technically she has a smokey gene too. You can kind of see that in the youngest pic of her. So she is a "pearlscale smokey pinoy paraiba comb-tail super veil".

One stripeless gene removes the stripes of a silver making them a ghost. Two stripeless genes and they become a blusher.

And you can have lots of types of blushers.

True koi are blushing gold marbles.
Blue blushers are paraibas
You can have dark blushers, silver blushers, gold blushers. There are seemingly endless phenotypes with angelfish.

This is pearlscale

It's a scale mutation that causes wavy scales. The light refracts off the crinkles like a diamond.

Don’t think I’ve ever posted some of mine...

 

[Coradee]

Shrimp hunting, I’d moved some plants over & there must’ve been a random shrimp in them & this angel was determined to get it!

 

[Amazoniantanklvr]

Don’t think I’ve ever posted some of mine...

I never knew that you had angels! Love the last pic! Do you breed for profit or just for fun?

I don't think I ever posted a pic of mine. Here goes.
