another 2 pictures of some very terminal male lamarck angels.

a few ways to differentiate male and female lamarck angels, since they look rather similar.

males have black pelvic fins, females are white

males have white tail with white borders, females have white tail with black borders

males have blue pectoral base, females are white

large males and large females may develop the yellow blotch on the foreheads.

can you tell the difference between these 2 dottbacks?

one is the very normal and very common royal dottyback, aka Pictichromis paccagnellae. the other is a very similar, relatively new species and more expensive and uncommon, Pictichromis dinar.

there's very subtle difference in the purple colour and the part where the 2 colours meet.

i would never bother looking through these 2. too ugly aggressive and just plain not- worth it.

Who would buy this fish... Although it is a rare morph...

the true identitity of this dottyback is this.

which is very similarly mistaken for Pseudochromis diadema, which is the 2nd photo.

still very boring, common looking and not worth the time. however the first one, (purple body, yellow head stripe) is abit interesting.

and the super common dottyback, P. diadema.
