This is one of my two Angelfish. The LFS called him/her a "Black Lace" coloration. My question is regarding the absence of verticle black stripes. I bought two of these colored angels and the smaller of the two has a very faint black verticle line. I find the coloration fine the way it is, I was just wondering if Angels lose thier stripes while stressed or if these fish just lack stripes. My water quality is good, 6.8 ph, 0 ppm Ammonia, 0 ppm Nitrite, <15 ppm Nitrate, and i have had the two angels for over a month now and they are growing fine so there is really no reason for me to believe they are stressed. Any feedback is welcome.

bump.... anyone?
 
you kinda answered your own question
if there not stressed then thats how there going to look normally
but, with time, diet, and water conditions their colors might change slightly
