AMAZONAS 54 Some of the latest examples of cutting-edge selective angelfish breeding focus on enhancing the expression of existing traits. High-Coverage Koi Angelfish (Gm/g - S/S) like the young one shown at right took decades to develop. Snakeskin is an emerging trait whose genetics are not yet understood. Shown below in the first row are two views of Carol Francis’s female Platinum Snakeskin (g/g - pb/pb), the original fish used to start her Snakeskin breeding lines. At bottom, two views of a young Blue Smokey Leopard Snakeskin Angelfish (Z/+ - Sm/+ - pb/pb) from Francis’s breeding are just starting to show the unique iridescent snakeskin patterning. Some of Francis’s best broodstock now exhibit this net-like patterning over their entire bodies. TOP: N. KHARDINA; BOTTOM: H. BLEHER
MATT PEDERSEN Angelfish GENETICS BREAKDOWN Canonized Loci Albino Locus—Alleles include: wild type (+) albino (a) recessive Dark Locus—Alleles include cascading dominance of: Dark (D) Marble (M) Gold Marble (Gm) wild type (+) Gold (g) recessive Halfblack Locus—Alleles include: wild type (+) halfblack (h) recessive Pearlscale Locus—Alleles include: wild type (+) pearlscale (p) recessive Smokey Locus—Alleles include: Smokey (Sm) partially dominant wild type (+) Streaked Locus—Alleles include: Streaked (St) dominant wild type (+) Veiled Locus—Alleles include: Veiled (V) partially dominant wild type (+) Zebra/Stripeless Locus—Alleles include: Zebra (Z) dominant Stripeless (S) partially dominant wild type (+); Community Accepted Loci Philippine Blue Locus—Alleles include wild type (+); Philippine blue (pb) recessive? Emerging / Suspected Mutations / Requiring Investigation Combtail—may be recessive, purported only visible on veil and superveil angelfishes, but possibly in standard fin fish as well. Eye Color—in the past suggested linked to sex, may sometimes be influenced by other genetics; indeterminate. Widefin—a very obvious trait that may express on a continuum; genetics indeterminate. Threadfin—multiple extensions on dorsal, anal, and caudal fins; genetics indeterminate. Snakeskin—a subtle trait at this time; genetics indeterminate. Glitter—genetics indeterminate, seen in both wild and captive lines; may interact with or be related to Snakeskin. Bulgarian Green—thought recessive at new locus, (bg) being used in discussions; genetics under investigation. Lost Mutations genetic traits assumed extinct, but could re-emerge or be rediscovered. Naja Gold—recessive Hong Kong Gold—recessive F2, 50% Manacapuru Angelfish with their first spawn. The female is a Blue Ghost (S/+ - p/+ - pb/pb); the male Ghost (front) has either one or two pb genes as well. AMAZONAS 55
