Blue Angelfish
Blue is the most recently discovered, significant angelfish mutation - Our stock is from a breeder in Thailand, where it appears the mutation originated. It is a recessive modifier gene that causes the fish to have an increased amount of blue/green iridescence as it ages. It is not a color gene, but a modifier of other strains. With Gold, Gold Marble, Sunset and Koi it also inhibits the expression of orange coloration. Platinum is the name given to fish that are homozygous for both Gold and Blue (g/g b/b). Gold Marble Platinum would be (Gm/Gm b/b). Het. stands for heterozygous. It means there is only one gene for Blue, therefore the fish does not express the Blue, but it carries it and when bred to a similar fish will produce a percentage of fish expressing the Blue iridescence. Discounts applied according to order size! Heterozygous (Het) Blue Crosses: These are the results of out-crosses to fish containing 2 doses of Blue. Each carries one Blue gene, but do not express the trait. When crossed to each other, they will produce 25% Platinum Blue expression in the next generation. Video of Gold - Het. Blue - some also carry Stripeless. Streaked Black - Het. Blue: Those for sale here, contain one Black gene, one Gold gene, one Blue gene, one Streaked gene and some may contain a Stripeless gene. In the next generation 25% of their offspring will express the Blue traits (blue iridescence), so you will get several different Blue types - Black-Blue, Double Dark Black - Blue, Platinum and possibly all of the above in the blushing version. All the dark strains will show a percentage of Streaked Blue. Streaked add a lot of iridescence and so does Blue, so these will be especially unique. |
