The Angelfish Society was founded
in 2000 and became incorporated in March 2003 as a
not-for-profit corporation.
We
are a collection of Angelfish
enthusiasts, hobbyists and breeders who
are interested in the advancement of our
hobby, through improvements in the
quality of the fish we keep and breed, by
employing the standards which this
society will develop.
Our
founding membership comes from the
Angelfish Forum where the idea evolved
that a set of standards used throughout
the hobby would benefit not only the
Angelfish, but also the professional
breeders, hobbyists and enthusiasts who
enjoy these wonderful freshwater fish.
The
Angelfish Society is dedicated to the
enhancement of the Angelfish through high
quality breeding programs using standards
established by the society.
Defining these
standards will be the initial focus of the society. It
is our hope that these standards will help to avoid the
widespread use of "cute" or "catchy" names for Angelfish
phenotypes which seem to proliferate in the names of
other species, and serve only to confuse the novice
Angelfish enthusiast.
We will also be
focused on setting standards for identifying the
genotypes of the Angelfish we breed and keep, and the
genetic notations used to describe them..
