Clown Black
and Black Clown
Multiple Locus Phenotype
Non-wild
alleles that interact to form these phenotypes:
Dark (D),
Zebra and
Stripeless (Z/S)
CLOWN BLACK
(D/+ - Z/S)
A clown black
is a black lace with the addition of one zebra allele and one stripeless
allele. When a zebra allele and a stripeless allele appear together, the
result is a random broken pattern to the stripes.
BLACK CLOWN (D/D - Z/S)
The black
clown is similar in appearance to the clown black, but much darker because
it is homozygous (double dose) for the dark allele.
HYBRID BLACK
CLOWN
[no photos
available]
A hybrid
black clown will have one of these phenotypes.
D/g-Z/S
D/Gm-Z/S
D/M-Z/S
No
information was found on the phenotypic expression of hybrid black clowns.
Photos are needed of angelfish that are confirmed to have any of the
hybrid black clown genotypes. If you have a photo to contribute to
thus library, please submit it to the Standards Committee along with
information on the genotype.
