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. The juveniles Blue-types do not show much blue. It's a trait that develops with age. Adults can have quite a bit of this blue iridescence. Platinum is the common 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! Platinum: The original Blue strain, still as stunning as ever. 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. |
