I looked through the Cat-E log and the closest i could come up with was maybe a hybrid of Angelicus and Ornatipinnis but i'm not an expert.

He/she is only about 4cm right now.

What do the experts think?

Thanks

Looks a little bit "stumpy" but that might be camera angles. A hybrid possibly schoutedeni x angelica

Grow it out for a few months and then come back and show us...juvi's can be ticky to ID but I think you are on the right track.

The guys are right about letting this young fish grow up to allow firmer ID. But I'd bet my next pint it turns out to be a . Check out picture 4.

Well i found out what it was sold as and they are listing it as an Angelicus/Eupterus. This store doesn't always have the right names though so who knows. I once bought a polypterus ornatipinnis from them and it turned out to be a Delhezi.
It's just so darn cute and pretty i just have to keep it no matter what it is.

Agreed, I've seen this fish labeled as such - beautiful looking fish, even if it is a hybrid
