I would say a little less common in our state, both of mine were special requests to be brought in. Goldflakes are nice and on my list of additions but only a certain varient is what I am looking for.
Least bold angel to add.

A hybrid is one I would consider for sure 
Goldflakes have a rocky history in the hobby. There are numerous people who have had them thrive for over a year and then go down hill and die within a week or two. I would go for a 3-4" one personally. A little smaller would not scare me off but I would likely not go any larger. There is a recent thread out here about people's histories with goldflakes, a good read if you have not for sure.

that is a great looking male Scribbled!
Where did you pick him up from?

He's kinda an odd duck. He was very angry when i took him out of the acclimation buckett. He wants the bicolor thats in there with him to clean him.
LOL He hates the allens damsels in there. I am keeping dither fish in with him to show him how take the foods i feed. The dithers have been qt for awhile ans was ready for release, But i thought they would benefit him being in there.

Very nice.
Do you have a female to go with him? Scribbled are very personable once they settle in as well, will be an awesome fish!

No, I was thinking on one. Someone told me not to get a seperate female that the male will likely kill her. To only get diver picked pairs. I may add one later, I am debating on it. Did you add yours seperately?
This guys about 8.5 inches. He stares me down. I'll wait to feed him untill tomorrow. He's looking around, But i dont think he will eat good this early.
Its funny watching him flutter near the bicolor angel. Thats probably the only reason he does not chase him round. He does keep the damsels away from the bicolor.

I did get my seperate, they are not together yet though either. The female is just finishing up QT now, only had her for about 2 months now, maybe a little longer.
I will be working on pairing them in roughly a month. The existing one was purchased as a female about 3.5 years ago at around 4.5", is now pushing 6.5-7 and starting to show transitional male color. The new female is much smaller then the current scribbled so I am hoping they will pair but time will tell.

Did you notice odd behavior in QT? Mine is swimming sideways frequently, But is not acting like its dieing. I think he is checking himself out in the reflection. I did catch him nipping at the glass. He is breathing nice and slow and reacts to me.
I should get some pucca shell substrate and add a thin coating so i can rule out the reflection, and let him not have to worry about that big male that keeps following him around.
I have a little peace because the bicolor is doing the same thing. I bet its the reflection.
