I bought a "Queen" from SWF about 5 months. I was only about an inch when I got it. I am looking around and I think that I may have gotten a "Blue" angel. Which one do I have?
Queen or Blue angelfish?

I really don't find the curved lines on the body, that supposedly Queens have bent lines and Blue's have straight lines to be that accurate. What you want to look for is right above and below the tail fin, Queen juvi's will have blue patches, and Blue juvi's will have yellow.
Here's a pic of a Queen juvi, look above and below the tail fin:

Thanks, but I can tell that your fish is least an inch bigger than mine... Maybe the blue will come in??
How big is your fish?

She was 2.5" in that photo, and unforunately only lasted 2 days, she developed a swim bladder infection. She couldn't hover/keep stationary, and kept floating to the surface which was stressing her out greatly. I spent about 3 hours holding her in my hand nursing/trying to calm her, and every 1/2 hour trying to work some bubbles out. It eventually just became too much for her. That was a tough one...
Two more clues would be the 'edging' along the trailing fins above and below the tailfin. Queen's have a complete blue 'outline' where Blue's typically just have partial blue, usually completely along the top but not coming down, and just a bit along the very bottom.

The other clue is the crown, or at least circular area on the forehead where the crown with form on Queen's that Blue's do not have.

The fish is yellow near the fin and I don't see a crown. Oh well. The Blue is a awesome fish, just not at nice as a blue
Thanks for your help
