Through both private and professional breeders, the freshwater angelfish genetics are bound to mutate. While it has been a few years since the last known mutation, the following is provided to help with the next successful mutation and identification:
- Initial crosses should include test crosses to prove the background genetics of the original parents
- Crosses should test for alleles with as many existing genes as possible
- Dominance or recessive ness characteristics should be clearly shown
- Photographs labeling phenotypes should accompany the study
- Phenotypes should be uniquely identifiable and statistically predictable
- Actual progeny counts should be included for all crosses, with the statistical reasoning behind the conclusion given
- Included should be the manner in which a person can obtain some of the same stock used in the study, in order to verify the results
