Can someone ID this angel?

[edsbeaker]

Hi,
This was on DD's homepage today, but because it was already sold, there was no description or price. I was wondering if anyone knows what kind of angel it is, and if someone happened to see the price of it.

Thanks

Looks like a Venustus

DD called it a Cebuan Purple Masked Angelfish.

Not sure if it is ok to post the price so I will just say what I tell my wife when I buy a fish - it was only 20 something dollars.

Thanks! I think the Venustus angels are called purple masked angels. Thanks for the ID you two.

Venustus/Purple masked angels are delicate little fish, alot of people have not been able to keep them alive. They need to be acclimatized slowly and make sure they are eating before going into the DT which should be a stress free environment, IMO.

Huma,

Dang-it, I had that in my basket & was just finishing PP & it was gone. There is a law against hoarding :lmao:

In CA you can get these for $27 so you wouldn't be lying. Getting one to eat is the hard part.

Mine has been tougher than nails. Came from DD just under 3 years ago (( 6/24/10 to be exact )), and for the first year it shared a 58 with a multicolored and coral beauty dwarf angel. Since I moved it is the only angel in a 40 breeder, and is out and about a lot more. Within minutes of being released into the tank it was eating prepared foods -- haven't found anything it won't eat.

When I first received it,

From just over a year ago (( man I need to take some new pictures, ha ))

I've had mine for 8-9 months. It was shy initially but has gotten bolder as time has passed. It's in a 400g tank with over 100 fish and it does well with getting along with everyone.

Wow Todd, I can't get over how much yellow they end up with on their forehead. Gorgeous!

Thank you. Out of all my dwarfs, has to be my favorite.

Thanks Peter. Its growth (( allowing for more yellow )) has really taken off since my move -- no longer competing with other angels for food.

All the fish I've bought from DD have been this way. Nice looking Angel..:beer:
