Here’s my Genicanthus… question is, hybrid? Pure blood? Melanospilos? Caudovittatus?

My LFS have looked at this guy and nobody can figure out what he truly is. We settled for Melanospilos so far however after seeing a pair of Caudovittatus in person, it’s making me question this guy.

It definitely has traits of both species, it also coincides in geographic location, IMO it's not an aberrant G.melanospilos, and it would be great if a professional could analyze this fish.

Hybrid Genicanthus are some of the rarest among the Pacific species of angelfish so we definitely perk up and take note anytime one of them shows up on our radar. The latest annual example of…

My LFS also thought this guy could be a hybrid. I’m beginning to lean that way but would also love for experts to see what they believe this fish is.
In fact, I plan to get a few more photos today so maybe they’ll help.

I just wanted to bump this thread… Look at these streamers! I know these aren’t the longest but hey, this guy has never put out streamers as a mature male previously.

Few additions going into QT. They are eating everything from pellets to frozen foods already. Can't wait to get all my angels into my 260g.

That's an incredible trio, are you using any kind of medication? How long do you plan to have them in QT?

Thanks! They are not in any medication in my system. Will just observe and see how they do for now. The store I got it from did a great job treating them for a couple weeks with general cure and prazi and were in copper water.

Get that scribbled a mate! They have been the least painful Angel for me to pair, and they really take to one another.

I don't know haha. I'm going to have like a dozen different angels in my 260.

You have to use a laptop/desktop. Videos won’t load on my phone either. Until then, here’s a few horrible quick shots my (hopeful) pair in QT now :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes:

Buy two! NYA has some killer deals on them. They have been the easiest angels for me to pair. My male has the best temperament….

did you buy it as a pair?

No and they’re a little closer in size than Id like TBH. But, aside from a few flare ups, so far so good.
