Hybrid Goldflake - PIA

[caribfan]

I noticed that Pacificia Island Aquatics has a hybrid goldflake angel on their website this morning. Anybody know what it is a hybrid with? Seems there was a bit of a pronounced bump on it's head.

Cool Fish, lot of money though.

My guess would be with a flagfin

Beautiful specimen. If I didn't already have so much yellow and black in my tank I'd be tempted.

They have another picture on there comparing it to a regular Goldflalke and the difference is pretty striking.

I wonder if it's just a variant? Other than the brighter color, I don't really see any flagfin in there....

Look at the white part above the anal fin ...

This is a amazing fish! I always wanted one

Best looking goldflake I've ever seen. Not ready, not yet.

The same "white" that stretches into the caudal peduncle, mimicking the lighter areas on the regular goldflake? Maybe...

It is a hybrid with a flagfin
Funny- if it was a dog it would be considered a mutt...or a "designer dog" like a labradoodle.
Gotta love marketing
I got a GF from PIA - a bit smaller than I expected it would be. Nice fish though and doing well. My only issue with PIA is you can only email and cannot call, and he is not the best getting back to you.
I digress but have sent 2 emails asking if he is able to get a small male crosshatch but no response.

Unless they show dna proof I wouldn't buy as a hybrid
