[capo larzo]

Ive been in the hobby over a decade and im stumped with this yellow fish that the owner of the nearest LFS to me sold me for 3.99. I cant tell if its growing to the size of a dwarf angel or what. But if its a damsel, i cant tell which one. heres a video.

I dont know, theres no sign of any black stripes going up and down the body and now that the fish is eating healthy and under a metal halide there is a more pronounced yellow along the pectoral, caudal and dorsal fins with a pinkish blue around the face starting at the front of the dorsal fin.

Also, i have various macro-algae in the tank, this particular fish loves to eat my red lettuce. The fish has almost annihilated the pint+ that was in the tank, within two weeks.

How big is it? It swims like some sort of pygmy angel.

 

[capo larzo]

Inch and a half maybe two

 

[cybermeez]

Probably not a pygmy angel then unless its a juvenile.

Wow. thats the closest yet. But my little guy from the front of the dorsal fine under the eye and to the top of the mouth is pale blue. The yellow on the fish is also only on the outer edges of the fish with a very pale body. I dont really know. Maybe a variation of the Ambon damsel?

 

[capo larzo]

ok almost certain its an ambon.
But now have another damsel ID thread to start.
Thanks everybody, skene especially

I didn't give up on this yet.
It could be a Talbots Damsel.
