Peruvian angels again

Update from this thread.

Taken a few months ago. There's a couple of pairs and some shaking happening, but I think the tank is a little small for any spawning.

Very, very nice. I have some but they look a little different - they look exactly like the ones that Merrilyn / Jim had some time ago. Very aggressive, very robust angels in my very limited experience. I just got them and one pair has developed and now has some wrigglers even though they are only about 50c body size.

I prefer your strain, do you know what strains are available and the name of your strain?

IMO Merrilyn and Jim's angels aren't wilds or close decendants of wilds. I think this because their body shape doesn't look like any wild scalare which have a streamlined body, the caudal fin in some pics looks too long and they throw gold angels.

I purchased mine as WC peruvian angels. There are some F3's floating around too for less money. I have seen pics of leopoldi / dumerilii around too. http://finarama.com/tba/identification.htm

The contrast between the dark stripes and silver body is saahhhweet.

How big are these guys now?

I have a group of 6 of these, mine look identical to the ones in your original post. Stunning fish!!!

The bigger ones are around 20+cm tip to tip with a 10cm TL body.
