Koi Angels?

[gouramigirl]

Sorry, this is probably a very very stupid question , but I was in one of my lfs yesterday and next to the tank of angels was a tank of koi angels, i've never heard of these and I can't seem to find much info by googling them (lots of pics just no information on them), so I was wondering if anyone could shed some light for me please? I assume they have been line bred from normal angels for their colour/patterns (as koi carp were)? Do you look after them in the same way as normal angels? Are they less hardy? Do they attain the same size as normal angels? Sorry for all the questions

Koi angels are exactly the same as other angels, they are just a different colour, so when you google up angelfish , then thats the same info for hte koi, they are all scalare, it gets different when you move to altums and leopardi(sp)

Thanks for that , it just made me wonder as they were selling for less than the regular angels, I thought maybe they weren't as hardy/ wouldn't get as big or something. Cheers for clearing that up for me (sorry for the stupid question!)
