I happened to look at a large silver superveil angelfish in the local petco yesterday.Nice long fins and everything.When I looked closer,I noticed a rather large dent in it's back right in front of the dorsal.I was still thinking fo getting it,just to save it from being picked on there by the rams in the tank with it nipping at it's ventral fins.
I asked a young lady how much for the angel with the deformity,and she told me it's not a deformity,it's supposed to look like that.I said it isn't like the other angelfish you have,and she told me that's because it's an "assorted" angelfish and it's supposed to have that indentation.
at first I was miffed that someone would try and BS me like that,then I realized she actually thought it's a variety of angel fish called assorted.I wonder if the "assorted" gene is dominant? :grin2:
Seriously,I feel for anyone new to the hobby that gets information from these stores.In our town,all we have is petco and petsmart.
