Here's an identification query you don't see everyday...an angelfish ID.

History: I bought these as "Pterophyllum scalare wild peru".
While I have no doubt they are angelfish (haha), if someone can chime in with some ideas as to as to if they are indeed the scalare species, and how to tell the difference between the other species, that would be great.

Here are some pics. If different angles are needed, I can get them.
