Juvenile queen angelfish or juvenile blue angelfish?

I am getting much better at distinguishing between juvenile French angelfish and juvenile gray angelfish, but the fish pictured here is my first encounter with this kind. Based on teh DVD, I am pretty sure it is a juvenile queen angelfish, but it looks similar to the juvenile blue angelfish, and I would appreciate knowledgeable input.

Thank You,

The lighter blue bars at mid body are slightly curved or bent on a juvenile Queen Angelfish. Just remember "bent Queen".

I agree with you and Pipehorse. The middle body bar definitely looks curved on your first photo which makes this a Queen Angelfish.
