What Kind Of Angel Have I Got?

[Tolak]

The speckles seen in the third picture would indicate the possibility of some wild blood. One of the best things some breeders are doing now is outcrossing to F1 wilds, then breeding back in to get the desired colors. Speckling is very common in wild angels. The pearlscale would indicate some domestic blood.

It’s a silver pearlscale, and there is no way of telling at this point if it is male or female.

I've seen them for sale in a shop near me and they were also called diamond angels. I like the name and it looks like the "diamond" cut you see on gold jewelry, rings and stuff

That's commercialism for you, the commonly known pearlscale being sold as diamond angels. This sounds similar to koi with very little black and orange being sold as panda koi.

some fish shops also tend to wrongly name their fishes. they tend to follow how it looks like and not what genetics or type the fish really is.
