Australian Angelfish Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 We've just recently joined the forum and thought we'd send a few pic's of various angelfish projects we're working on. We've been studying angelfish genetics for some time and realised many of the amazing forms not available in Australia were actually possible by stacking various genetic features, but it takes generations crosses and back crosses. We only have angels in our fish room and are striving to produce some really rare phenotypes as well as representative wild forms. Our hobby has gone a little out of control! F1 Red-backed Manacapuru (lake form). Parents wild caught stock through Glaser Germany Philippine blue smokey veil, juvenile spawned at Christmas from three generations to bring the blue smokey and veil genes together. Platinum pearlscale spawned in 2011, offspring now maturing into lovely veil platinum marbles Albino silver pearlscale breeder male F1 from imports now crossed into blue, veil and black - stunning fish and endless possibilities Pinoy lace angelfish - three years of line breeding to combine various traits. The fish is still very young but will mature to an irredescent blue black Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thatsright99 Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 What do you think these are? Male without flash, with flash and the pair. The bars aren't too prominent atm. When they breed again I'll put up a better pic there of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Australian Angelfish Posted April 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 These are blue silver pearlscales. They are lovely fish combining two recessive genes, Philippine blue (pb/pb) and pearlscale (p/p). Did you breed or purchase them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatsright99 Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 No I bought them as peruensis, but these were the only pearlscales there AND they were breeding in the tank so I grabbed them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Australian Angelfish Posted April 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 A very lucky find! I love the wide dorsals on them. Good luck with producing fry from them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cryptoheros Posted June 18, 2014 Report Share Posted June 18, 2014 Hi,your angels are truly beautiful and I am currently keeping a georgous school of wildcaught Peruvian 'Altums'(Scalare),one with amazing purple and red fins and some quite georgous little Blues with amazing color,I just bought. Do you ship any of your fish interstate,as the first ones with the red back and the Albino Pearlscale are captivating?......By the way,have you ever seen a truly Blue Pearlscale?These would be stunning, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
