Photo of my chaperi Angona at:

 These area dults and are slightly larger than dageti.  The young males show
a little less of the red orange in the body and the bars fade as they
mature.  The females get a hint of blue on the rounded anal fin.  They breed
the same as dageti.  In the 1950s when I first got dageti, they had been
known as "chaperi" since they were established in the qauarium in Germany
around 1900.
