Sorry, it was taken with my iphone. She's BEAUTIFUL. Mostly orange with a "square" of blue/purple in her center.

Nice fish! What tank are you putting it into? Not to scare you, but Potter's can be a pretty tough fish to keep. They aren't very willing to take prepared foods when placed in a new environment, and they can be pretty timid for quite some time. You should definitely ALWAYS have at least some sort of algae growth on your rocks when adding any Dwarf Angel. To help make feeding somewhat more natural, you can rubber band a piece of Nori to a rock so that the fish needs to rip it from the rock, the way that they would if they were eating algae off of the rock. Good luck!

I already have pieces of LR in the QT tank that she is nipping off of. She will be in the main tank in about 2 weeks. There's more than enough algae growing in there for her
